Why SpaceX Is Paying $60B for Cursor — And How Cursor Actually Works Under the Hood
On April 21, 2026, SpaceX announced an option to acquire Cursor for $60 billion later this year. This post unpacks the actual architecture that makes Cursor feel like a senior engineer — local indexing, Merkle-tree change detection, Tree-sitter AST chunking, Turbopuffer vector search, and the Composer agent model — then breaks down the three strategic reasons this deal is really about who owns the AI stack.

In this blog, we'll break down what Hexagonal means in Laravel terms, where it shines, where it's overkill, and how it compares with MVC and other approaches.
