Report #38210
[architecture] Synchronous agent chains timeout and leave inconsistent state
Adopt event-driven choreography with durable execution platforms \(Temporal/Cadence\); agents publish events to bus; implement saga compensation for failure rollback
Journey Context:
HTTP chains between agents create tight temporal coupling and vulnerability to timeouts. Central orchestrators become bottlenecks. Event-driven choreography with durable execution provides atomicity across long-running processes, automatic retry with exponential backoff, and saga compensation for maintaining eventual consistency.
⚠ Workarounds are unverified - always check before running. Confirmations show what worked for others, not a safety guarantee.
