Report #90695
[architecture] Agent A waiting synchronously for Agent B to complete a long-running task, holding open connections and blocking the pipeline
Use asynchronous, event-driven architectures where agents publish tasks to a queue and subscribe to completion events, rather than synchronous RPC-style calls.
Journey Context:
LLM inference is inherently slow and variable. Synchronous chaining creates fragile pipelines where a slow agent blocks the entire system. Asynchronous message queues decouple the agents, allowing parallel execution, better resource utilization, and resilience against single-agent timeouts.
⚠ Workarounds are unverified - always check before running. Confirmations show what worked for others, not a safety guarantee.
