Heartbeats Inc. will host a webinar on August 4, 2026, titled 'Infrastructure Automation in the Generative AI Era: Can Your Design Withstand Production? – Project Design and Implementation Steps to Avoid Failure with IaC and CI/CD Adoption'.

Heartbeats Inc. (Headquarters: Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Masanori Fujisaki), a provider of fully managed server monitoring, maintenance, and operations services, will host a webinar on Tuesday, August 4, 2026, titled 'Infrastructure Automation in the Generative AI Era: Can Your Design Withstand Production? – Project Design and Implementation Steps to Avoid Failure with IaC and CI/CD Adoption'.

Background of the Webinar

### Design Quality in the Generative AI Era: What Matters in IaC and CI/CD Adoption

With the widespread adoption of generative AI, code generation for IaC tools like Terraform and CI/CD pipelines has become more accessible, prompting more companies to explore infrastructure automation. As SaaS and web services grow, manual server provisioning and release processes are exposing challenges such as bloated workloads, human errors, and knowledge silos around specific engineers. In response, interest in infrastructure automation through IaC and CI/CD is increasing. However, what production environments demand is not merely the ability to generate and implement code. The success of automation projects hinges on whether the design anticipates operations and maintenance. Precisely because generative AI has lowered implementation barriers, the question of whether your design can withstand production has become more critical than ever.

Challenges Faced

### The Reality: IaC and CI/CD Are Needed, But Projects Stall

While companies recognize the necessity of IaC and CI/CD for infrastructure automation, many struggle to define a path toward production-ready implementation, causing projects to stall.

For example: - Unable to determine where in the existing environment to begin automation - Uncertain about the correct sequence for introducing IaC and CI/CD - Concerned about whether the company can independently build a design and organizational structure that considers long-term operations and maintenance - Unable to decide how to move beyond PoC into full production rollout

These challenges stem not from individual tools or technologies, but from the overall project design—specifically, 'how to design and drive an infrastructure automation project'. Therefore, more than ever, what is needed is not just technical expertise, but resilient design and practical implementation steps that prevent operational breakdowns.

Session Content

### Designing for Success: Project Planning and Implementation Steps for IaC and CI/CD Based on 20+ Years of Operational Expertise

This webinar will examine infrastructure automation using IaC and CI/CD not as mere tool adoption, but from the perspective of project design that avoids failure in production. Drawing on over 20 years of experience supporting IT infrastructure operations, Heartbeats will introduce the philosophy behind its SRE services, which provide end-to-end support—from upstream design of cloud migration projects to efficient infrastructure provisioning via IaC, implementation, and operational stabilization. Additionally, the session will clarify key design considerations and common pitfalls during implementation, guiding participants on how to advance their projects beyond PoC and smoothly transition to production without operational collapse.

Recommended for

- CTOs, VPoEs, and technical leaders aiming to drive infrastructure automation and SRE adoption - Development managers and project leaders seeking to structure their automation initiatives - Engineers interested in IaC and CI/CD but unsure where to begin - Professionals wanting to learn design and implementation steps from PoC to production - Teams aiming to define a sustainable, company-specific approach to infrastructure automation

Key Takeaways

The key to successful infrastructure automation lies not in simply adopting IaC and CI/CD, but in the design and project execution strategy that anticipates production use. This seminar will help you establish clear decision-making frameworks for design, implementation, and operations to smoothly adopt IaC and CI/CD within your environment. If you're stuck in the 'PoC limbo' and want practical strategies to achieve production readiness, we encourage you to attend.
