Hands-Off Automation: Claude Code Routines Bring Autonomous Agents to DevOps

Claude Code Routines represent a fundamental shift from interactive AI assistance to fully autonomous execution on managed cloud infrastructure. This capability enables developers to automate repetitive maintenance tasks—backlog management, alert triage, code review—without active supervision. By supporting multiple trigger types (scheduled, API-driven, GitHub events) alongside MCP integrations, Routines make sophisticated automation workflows accessible to teams of any size.
