## AI overview

This opinion article argues that many production problems in AI agent systems resemble problems previously addressed by cloud-native and microservices architectures. It introduces parallels involving decomposition and orchestration, while noting that AI systems also have genuinely new aspects such as LLM APIs.

## Source excerpt

The microservices era already solved the problems AI agents face in production. Read this nuanced analysis of EDA, event sourcing, and orchestration for agentic AI.
