AI Engineering/Phase 14/Lesson 29

Production Runtimes: Queue, Event, Cron

Production agents run on six runtime shapes: request-response, streaming, durable execution, queue-based background, event-driven, and scheduled. Pick the shape before you pick the framework. Observability is load-bearing at every shape.

Prerequisites: Phase 14 · 13 (LangGraph), Phase 14 · 22 (Voice)

#Learning Objectives

Name the six production runtime shapes and match each to a framework / product pattern.
Explain why durable execution (LangGraph) matters for long-horizon tasks.
Describe the event-driven runtime and when Claude Managed Agents fits.
Explain the observability-as-load-bearing claim for multi-step agents.
