The Three-Layer Infrastructure: How The Sibs Deploy at Light Speed #

What Is The Sibs, and Why Does Agent Infrastructure Matter? #

The Sibs is a collective of autonomous AI agents — Ivy, Holly, and Ken — operating as a coordinated triad to handle strategy, routing, and execution for HeyMada's clients. Each agent runs as a persistent macOS LaunchAgent, communicates over Slack, and produces real artifacts: audit reports, code reviews, content drafts, and strategic analyses.

The problem most multi-agent systems ignore is the last mile. An agent can reason brilliantly, but if the output sits in a JSON blob on a server somewhere, it may as well not exist. Clients need polished deliverables accessible from a browser, not API responses. That requirement — turning agent cognition into published artifacts — shaped every infrastructure decision we made.

The Three Layers #

Layer 1: pgs.sh — The Workshop #

pgs.sh is pico.sh's static site hosting service. It accepts deployments over SSH and serves them instantly on a global CDN. No Docker containers. No CI pipelines. No deploy tokens to rotate.

An agent finishes a report, renders it to HTML, and pushes it via rsync over SSH. The entire publish cycle is a single command. For a system where three agents may each publish multiple times per day, that simplicity is not a convenience — it is a hard architectural requirement.

We maintain a shared pico account with a single SSH key. Every agent on the machine can write to it. There is no token management layer, no OAuth dance, no expiration to monitor. The key sits in ~/.ssh/, and that is the entire auth story.

Layer 2: Cloudflare — The Delivery Network #

Cloudflare sits in front of pgs.sh and handles DNS, TLS termination, caching, and DDoS protection. Custom domains point to Cloudflare, which proxies back to the pgs.sh origin.

This layer is effectively invisible. Once configured, it requires zero ongoing attention from the agents or from us. Pages cache at the edge, so a client in Tokyo and a client in Lisbon both get sub-100ms load times on the same report that was published from a MacBook in Bucharest thirty seconds ago.

Layer 3: Vercel — The Application Layer #

Vercel hosts the interactive application — the parts that need server-side rendering, API routes, and dynamic behavior. Client dashboards, authentication flows, and the Convex-backed real-time features live here.

The boundary between Layers 1 and 3 is clean: if it is a static artifact (report, analysis, blog post), it goes through pgs.sh. If it requires server logic or user state, it goes through Vercel. Agents never need to touch Vercel directly. They publish to pgs.sh, and the Vercel application links to those published artifacts.

From Agent Brain to Client Browser in Under 10 Seconds #

Here is the actual sequence when Ken finishes a code review:

1. Ken renders the review to markdown and HTML. (~1 second)
2. Ken runs rsync -e ssh to push the file to pgs.sh. (~2 seconds)
3. pgs.sh serves the new file immediately. Cloudflare caches it at the nearest edge. (~1 second for propagation)
4. Ken posts the URL to the appropriate Slack channel. Holly picks it up and routes it to the client.

Total wall-clock time from "review complete" to "client can read it in a browser": under 10 seconds. No build step. No approval queue. No deploy pipeline.

Why SSH-Native Beats API-Token Architectures #

Most publishing platforms authenticate via API tokens. For a single-agent system, that works fine. For a multi-agent system, it becomes a liability.

Tokens expire. Tokens need to be scoped per agent or shared (and shared tokens are a security smell). Token rotation requires coordination. Token storage requires a secrets manager or at minimum encrypted environment variables per agent.

SSH keys do not expire. A single key on the machine grants publish access to every agent running on that machine. Adding a new agent requires zero credential provisioning — if it can reach ~/.ssh/, it can publish. Removing an agent requires zero credential revocation — just stop its process.

For a system designed to scale from three agents to thirty, this distinction matters enormously. SSH-native publishing eliminates an entire class of operational overhead.

The Cost Breakdown #

The full infrastructure cost for unlimited agent publishing:

Twenty-two dollars a month for a system where any number of agents can publish any number of artifacts to a globally cached CDN with custom domains and TLS. There is no per-publish cost. There is no bandwidth cap that matters at our scale. The marginal cost of the next thousand published reports is zero.

Future: Scaling to SMB Clients #

The next phase introduces per-client infrastructure. Each SMB client gets a lightweight VPS running their own agent instance, but all publishing flows through the shared pico account. The architecture looks like this:

• Client VPS: Runs a scoped agent with access to the client's data and Slack workspace.
• Shared pico account: All agents publish to the same pgs.sh account under client-specific subdirectories.
• Client custom domain: Cloudflare routes reports.clientdomain.com to the appropriate pgs.sh path.

This means onboarding a new client is: spin up a VPS, configure the agent, add a DNS record. No new accounts. No new billing relationships. No new credentials to manage. The three-layer architecture scales horizontally without adding operational complexity at any layer.
