Report #50608

[frontier] How do I orchestrate a multi-agent workflow that can survive days-long waits and agent failures without losing progress?

Implement each agent step as a Temporal Activity, using Temporal Workflows to coordinate the multi-agent graph. This provides durable execution—automatic retries, state persistence, and the ability to sleep for days without holding threads—unlike LangChain's in-process orchestration.

Journey Context:
LangChain/LangGraph run in a single process; if the server restarts, the workflow dies. For production agents running complex multi-day research or approval workflows, 2025 practitioners are wrapping agent logic in Temporal \(or Windmill/Dagster with persistence\). This separates the orchestration durability from the agent logic, allowing 'sleeping' workflows and automatic recovery from partial failures.
