Covers orchestration patterns (router, subagent, etc.), synchronous vs. asynchronous communication protocols (HTTP/gRPC vs. message queues), shared memory and state management strategies, compute and networking requirements, fault-tolerance techniques (retries, circuit breakers, dead-letter queues), and observability approaches including distributed tracing with correlation IDs. Deployment options on Kubernetes and DigitalOcean's managed services are discussed, along with references to frameworks like LangGraph, AutoGen, CrewAI, and Agno. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
