- This workshop aims to equip participants with practical architectural patterns and hands-on experience for building enterprise-ready agentic AI systems, focusing on event-driven coordination, loose coupling, dynamic agent discovery, and resilient workflows using Agent Mesh.
- Platform engineers, AI/ML engineers working on agentic or GenAI systems
- Solution architects, Enterprise architects, Distributed systems engineers
- Event-driven architecture practitioners, Technical leads and Senior software engineers
From Agentic AI Demos to Production Systems
Introduction: 20 Minutes
- Why Agentic AI Demos Don’t Survive Reality
- Agentic AI Is a Distributed Systems Problem
- Single agents vs agent ecosystems
- Why centralized orchestration breaks at scale
- Agents as autonomous, long-running services
- Why event-driven coordination fits enterprise conditions
- Agent Mesh as a Practical Pattern
What an agent mesh enables:
- loose coupling
- asynchronous coordination
- dynamic capability discovery
How Solace Agent Mesh applies this pattern:
- agents connected via real-time events
- A2A and MCP-based integration
- evolve workflows without rewiring pipelines
- What “Production-Grade” Actually Means
- Handling retries and partial failures
- Managing state and context over time
- Observability and auditability via events
- Scaling agents independently
Hands-On Focus (Remaining time – 100 Minutes)
In the accompanying hands-on workshop, participants will build a simple multi-agent system using Solace Agent Mesh, connecting agents through events instead of direct calls. The lab focuses on adding, evolving, and observing agents under realistic conditions, including failures and workflow changes – to demonstrate how event-driven agent architectures scale
beyond demos into production-ready systems
- An open mind and a willingness to learn and apply new concepts.
- Note: For hands-on workshop, attendees should bring their own laptop with tools installed
Benefits/Takeaways of this workshop for the attendees (What will attendees do after attending the workshop which they were not able to do before attending this)
- Enterprise agentic AI is a distributed systems problem, not a prompt engineering problem
- Centralized, synchronous orchestration does not scale for real-world agent workflows
- Event-driven coordination enables loose coupling, resilience, and independent scaling of agents
- Production-grade agentic systems must handle retries, back-pressure, partial failures, and evolving workflows
- Treating agents like autonomous services improves reliability, ownership, and system evolution
- Architecture, not models — ultimately determines whether enterprise GenAI systems earn trust and deliver value
