Redpoint InfraRed 100 Companies Building AI Infrastructure

AI is putting infrastructure back at the center. Redpoint's 2026 InfraRed 100 report highlights the companies helping define the next phase of cloud and AI infrastructure, and we’re proud to see Docker included. As agents become part of how software gets built and shipped, the need for trusted, secure, developer-first infrastructure only gets more important. Thanks to Redpoint for including Docker in this year’s cohort!

Vikram, Chenggang Wu and the Herald (formerly RunLLM) team are doing groundbreaking work in the AI SRE space. Tired: To resolve issues, you have to babysit an AI agent, feeding it with runbooks that may not actually reflect what's going on anyhow. Wired: Herald just digs through your logs and repos and finds issues predictively, before you know they could be a problem. Try it yourself -- download the CLI, fire it up, connect to data, and watch it do predictive incident analysis. Very cool and extremely useful!

The list to rule all lists: Redpoint's #Infrared100 2026 edition. On record, every year: this is far and away the best list of "companies to bet your career on" for technical enterprise sellers looking at breakout cloud infra and AI companies. If you're working at one of these companies, you picked well. If you're not yet, you should heavily consider it. Redpoint nails it again.

Seeing this shift from AI experimentation to production play out in real time across the federal and national security space. For many of the customers I work with, the conversation is no longer “Should we use AI?” — it’s: ■ How do we securely operationalize it? ■ How do we govern it? ■ How do we provide trusted, repeatable environments for developers and agents? ■ How do we do this in disconnected, classified, or highly regulated environments? That’s why infrastructure, identity, policy, and operational visibility matter just as much as the models themselves. Exciting to see Coder and others recognized for helping build the foundation that production AI will actually run on. Congrats to Rob Whiteley and the entire team.

Restate is listed for the second year in a row in Redpoint's InfraRed 100 list of infrastructure companies powering AI right now! Agents are getting more advanced, and run longer in autonomy. Restate gives your agents the key ingredients they need for this: - Durable Execution: recover from failures without losing progress - Virtual Objects: persistent state and per-agent isolation - Service Fabric: resilient agent-to-agent calls, human approvals, and task scheduling Read the report below. Thank you for including us, Redpoint!

This past year’s progress in infra software and AI has been absolutely insane. Check out our annual infrared report and list summarizing the key trends and notable companies across the infraverse!

An amazing AI market analysis from Redpoint is in their post below. JetStream Security Inc. is proud to be named among the 100 companies. "Infra is the backbone of every industry. AI is the most critical layer in the whole stack." The preso imparts tons of datapoints on AI's progress and weaknesses, how AI dev tools are shaping up, AI security, and a public market performance update. Worth a read.

I am generally skeptical of these kinds of lists...but the InfraRed 100 has real depth in terms of the quality of the companies features as well as the material, data, and analysis in the report. Well worth a look. 👇

Lots of exciting news to share today! 1. RunLLM is now Herald. The new name reflects the fact that our AI SRE is the only product on the market that operates autonomously — teaching itself about your product & infra, detecting early warning signs of incidents, and investigating without runbooks.

Thanks to Redpoint for the recognition!  3. We're releasing the beta of the Herald CLI — an agent that runs securely on your laptop and gets up and running in minutes. Sign up for early access here: https://herald.dev/cli

Herald is the first AI SRE that learns without runbooks, finds incidents before customers complain, and can run fully on your laptop. Great to see them recognized on the InfraRed 100 🚀 See details for how to get early access to their beta of the Herald CLI below 👇
