Okara scales AI CMO on Vercel
Okara scaled its AI-driven marketing platform to over 120,000 companies and 4 billion daily tokens by migrating its infrastructure to Vercel. The team adopted Vercel AI Gateway for unified model management and Vercel Sandboxes to provide secure, isolated environments for its specialized agents to run code.
The rise of highly productive micro-startups serving massive user bases shows that the bottleneck for AI agents is no longer model capability, but rather the reliability and security of the surrounding infrastructure layer.
- –**Abstractions Drive Velocity:** Offloading retries, model routing, and key management to a unified gateway eliminates SDK integration debt and allows instant adoption of new models.
- –**Sandboxed Execution is the New Standard for Action-Oriented Agents:** Giving agents the ability to write and test code requires isolated runtime environments like Vercel Sandboxes to maintain security.
- –**Massive Leverage for Small Teams:** Okara's ability to run a complex agentic fleet for 120,000 businesses with only four engineers highlights how robust cloud infrastructure is commoditizing scale.
