#1 about 3 min

Inspiration and challenges of scaling AI agent communication

An overview of the engineering background that inspired the quest to architect communicating AI systems at scale.

#2 about 2 min

The evolution of artificial intelligence into the agentic era

How the progression from neural networks and large language models paves the way for autonomous software components.

#3 about 3 min

Defining the core components and facets of AI agents

An explanation of what constitutes an AI agent, including persona, perception, memory variants, and external tools.

#4 about 2 min

Applying event-driven architecture to AI agent communication

How lessons from monoliths and microservices lead to using asynchronous event-driven patterns to prevent agent bottlenecks.

#5 about 2 min

Demonstrating an asynchronous ride-sharing application with agents

A walk-through of a conceptual application where simulated distributed users and robotic taxis interact via messaging logic.

#6 about 5 min

Architectural overview of the event-driven simulation system

A detailed look at the user generators, messaging topics, orchestrator tools, and routing APIs running the simulation backend.

#7 about 4 min

Live deployment of containerized agents and messaging brokers

Witnessing the real-time execution of container tools scripting distributed components and message topics across environments.

#8 about 2 min

Identifying and fixing over-engineered AI calls through observability

How unexpected billing outputs and application tracing tools revealed the need to restrict external language model inferences.

#9 about 3 min

Scaling decentralized agent simulations across geographical boundaries

Restarting the deployment to handle concurrent operations across varying simulated locations while reflecting on future milestones.
