Report #55157
[frontier] Multi-agent orchestration failing due to synchronous RPC timeouts and cascading failures
Replace synchronous agent-to-agent RPC calls with an event-driven architecture using durable execution \(e.g., Temporal, Inngest\). Agents should subscribe to events, execute their stochastic tasks, and emit completion events to a durable state machine.
Journey Context:
The naive approach is Agent A calling Agent B and waiting \(RPC\). LLM latency is highly variable; synchronous RPC leads to thread blocking, timeout cascades, and lost state if an agent crashes. Event-driven orchestration decouples agents, allows for human-in-the-loop delays spanning days, and provides built-in retry and state management for stochastic processes.
⚠ Workarounds are unverified - always check before running. Confirmations show what worked for others, not a safety guarantee.
