7 Tools for Multi-Agent Infrastructure

Building multi-agent infrastructure requires more than connecting agents to APIs — it demands a layered architectural approach. Seven critical infrastructure layers are covered: orchestration frameworks (LangGraph, CrewAI, OpenAI Agents SDK), inter-agent routing via MCP and Google's A2A protocol, identity and authorization challenges unique to delegation chains (OAuth 2.1, SPIFFE, OPA), AI gateways (Kong, Cloudflare, LiteLLM, Portkey), observability and tracing (OpenTelemetry, Langfuse, PostHog), caching strategies for context-hungry agents (Redis), and runtime governance (Microsoft Agent Governance Toolkit, SuperAgent, Gravitee). The piece emphasizes that governance is the least mature layer and that the entire stack must be treated as a holistic architectural concern rather than a bolt-on solution.
