In 2025, AI automation to simplify developer roles will shift from task automation to managing workflows, says Sacha Labourey, co-founder of CloudBees. Developers will adopt AI-driven solutions to streamline security, compliance, and fragmented tools, boosting efficiency and enhancing cloud security.
As we look ahead to 2025, Sacha Labourey, co-founder of CloudBees, predicts that AI automation will revolutionize developer roles. Shifting from task automation to full workflow management, AI will simplify developers' workloads, streamline security and compliance tasks, and reduce inefficiencies caused by fragmented tools. Labourey emphasizes the importance of unified workflows and robust cloud security to ensure seamless, efficient software delivery in an increasingly complex technological landscape.
AI advancing from task automation to workflow management
“2025 will be the year AI shifts from handling isolated tasks to managing complete workflows,” says Sacha. Developers will seek AI solutions that streamline processes and reduce manual interruptions, prioritizing tech that delivers tangible productivity gains.

“Developers face growing demands beyond coding, like security and compliance. AI will refocus them on core development by automating these complex responsibilities,” Sacha explains. Expect AI to balance workloads, boost efficiency, and enable greater innovation.
Addressing fragmentation with unified workflows
“Disruptions from fragmented tools are a persistent challenge,” Sacha notes. “Companies will shift to integrated workflows, enabling developers to stay engaged and productive. Unified platforms will consolidate tools, minimize inefficiencies, and elevate software delivery quality.”
Automating security and compliance for efficiency
Security demands are increasing, and automation will be key. “Moving security and compliance responsibilities earlier and automating them will protect organizations while minimizing developer workload,” Sacha highlights. This integration ensures faster, safer delivery pipelines.
Strengthening cloud security across hybrid environments
As cloud adoption rises, security will be a priority. “In 2025, automated solutions will fortify cloud and hybrid infrastructures, reducing complexity and enabling seamless management,” says Sacha. Cloud platforms will focus on robust, integrated security that keeps pace with evolving threats.
