Course Outline

Foundations of Agentic Systems in Production

  • Agentic architectures: encompassing loops, tools, memory, and orchestration layers
  • The lifecycle of agents: covering development, deployment, and continuous operation
  • Key challenges in managing agents at production scale

Infrastructure and Deployment Models

  • Deploying agents across containerized and cloud environments
  • Scaling patterns: comparing horizontal and vertical scaling, along with concurrency and throttling
  • Orchestration of multiple agents and workload balancing

Monitoring and Observability

  • Essential metrics: tracking latency, success rate, memory usage, and agent call depth
  • Tracing agent activity and mapping call graphs
  • Implementing observability instrumentation using Prometheus, OpenTelemetry, and Grafana

Logging, Auditing, and Compliance

  • Centralized logging and structured event collection
  • Ensuring compliance and auditability within agentic workflows
  • Creating audit trails and replay mechanisms for effective debugging

Performance Tuning and Resource Optimization

  • Minimizing inference overhead and refining agent orchestration cycles
  • Utilizing model caching and lightweight embeddings for accelerated retrieval
  • Conducting load testing and stress scenarios for AI pipelines

Cost Control and Governance

  • Identifying agent cost drivers: API calls, memory, compute resources, and external integrations
  • Monitoring agent-specific costs and establishing chargeback models
  • Implementing automation policies to curb agent sprawl and idle resource consumption

CI/CD and Rollout Strategies for Agents

  • Embedding agent pipelines into CI/CD systems
  • Applying testing, versioning, and rollback strategies for iterative agent updates
  • Executing progressive rollouts and safe deployment mechanisms

Failure Recovery and Reliability Engineering

  • Building for fault tolerance and graceful degradation
  • Employing retry, timeout, and circuit breaker patterns to ensure agent reliability
  • Managing incident response and post-mortem frameworks for AI operations

Capstone Project

  • Developing and deploying an agentic AI system with comprehensive monitoring and cost tracking
  • Simulating load, assessing performance, and refining resource usage
  • Presenting the final architecture and monitoring dashboard to peers
