Future Roadmap

Spring AI Bench is positioned to evolve from a local benchmarking tool into a comprehensive cloud-based runtime platform for AI agent execution.

1. Strategic Vision

1.1. Three-Tier Value Stack

  1. Framework Layer (Spring AI Agents): Development abstractions and agent integrations

  2. Runtime Layer (Spring AI Bench Cloud): Hosted execution infrastructure with enterprise features

  3. Automation Layer (GitHub Actions): Workflow orchestration and continuous evaluation

2. Phase 1: Cloud Runtime Migration

2.1. Operational Drivers

  • Always-on availability: Eliminate dependency on personal computers for benchmark execution

  • Scalable execution: Support concurrent benchmark runs across multiple repositories

  • Resource isolation: Proper sandboxing without local security concerns

  • Cost efficiency: Pay-per-use model vs maintaining local infrastructure

2.2. Technical Implementation

2.2.1. Cloud Infrastructure

  • AWS/GCP deployment with auto-scaling capabilities

  • Container orchestration using existing DockerSandbox implementations

  • REST API layer for remote benchmark execution

  • Multi-tenant isolation for enterprise security

2.2.2. Architecture Leverage

  • Spring Cloud Deployer SPI already integrated (bench-core/pom.xml)

  • Sandbox abstraction designed for this evolution (LocalSandbox → DockerSandbox → CloudSandbox)

  • Distributed execution foundation already in place

2.2.3. API Design

# Example API endpoints
POST /api/v1/benchmark/run
GET  /api/v1/benchmark/{id}/status
GET  /api/v1/benchmark/{id}/results
POST /api/v1/workspace/create

3. Phase 2: GitHub Actions Integration

3.1. Agent-as-a-Service Workflows

3.1.1. Issue Labeling Pipeline

# .github/workflows/agent-labeling.yml
name: AI Agent Issue Labeling
on:
  issues:
    types: [opened, edited]
jobs:
  label-issue:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - name: AI Agent Labeling
        uses: spring-ai-bench/agent-action@v1
        with:
          benchmark: 'issue-labeling-v2'
          agent: 'claude-code'
          model: 'claude-3-5-sonnet'
          workspace: ${{ github.workspace }}
          api-key: ${{ secrets.SPRING_AI_BENCH_API_KEY }}

3.1.2. PR Review Automation

# .github/workflows/pr-review.yml
name: AI Agent PR Review
on:
  pull_request:
    types: [opened, synchronize]
jobs:
  ai-review:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - name: AI PR Review
        uses: spring-ai-bench/pr-review-action@v1
        with:
          benchmark: 'pr-review-comprehensive'
          agent: 'claude-code'
          review-depth: 'full'
          include-tests: true
          include-security: true

3.2. Continuous Benchmark Evaluation

3.2.1. Real-World Performance Metrics

  • Live agent performance on actual repositories

  • Benchmark result feedback loop

  • Performance degradation detection

  • Agent capability evolution tracking

3.2.2. GitHub Marketplace Strategy

  • Marketplace actions for common benchmarks (labeling, review, testing)

  • Freemium model with usage-based pricing

  • Enterprise features (custom agents, private benchmarks, SLA guarantees)

4. Phase 3: Enterprise Platform

4.1. Multi-Tenant Architecture

4.1.1. Security & Isolation

  • Tenant-specific sandboxes with resource quotas

  • Data isolation for proprietary codebases

  • Audit logging for compliance requirements

  • Role-based access control (RBAC)

4.1.2. Custom Benchmark Framework

// Enterprise custom benchmark definition
@BenchmarkDefinition
public class CustomCodeReviewBench {

    @AgentSpec(type = "claude-code", model = "claude-3-5-sonnet")
    private AgentConfig reviewer;

    @SuccessCriteria
    private List<ReviewCriteria> criteria;

    @Timeout(minutes = 10)
    public BenchResult execute(PullRequest pr) {
        // Custom enterprise logic
    }
}

4.2. Revenue Model

4.2.1. Consumption-Based Pricing

  • Runtime minutes (following TestContainers Cloud model)

  • API calls and benchmark executions

  • Storage for workspace and result data

  • GitHub Actions marketplace revenue share

4.2.2. Tier Structure

  • Free Tier: Limited runtime minutes, public repositories only

  • Professional: Increased limits, private repository support

  • Enterprise: Unlimited usage, custom benchmarks, dedicated support, SLA guarantees

5. Technical Foundation Advantages

5.1. Existing Infrastructure

  • Sandbox implementations already support local, Docker, and cloud execution

  • Spring Cloud Deployer provides distributed task orchestration

  • MCP integration enables rich tool ecosystem

  • GitHub API integration for repository operations

  • TestContainers support for container-based isolation

5.2. Development Timeline
