Course Outline

Foundations of Agentic Systems in Production

  • Agentic architectures: loops, tools, memory, and orchestration layers
  • Agent lifecycle: development, deployment, and continuous operation
  • Challenges in managing agents at production scale

Infrastructure and Deployment Models

  • Deploying agents within containerized and cloud environments
  • Scaling patterns: horizontal versus vertical scaling, concurrency, and throttling
  • Multi-agent orchestration and workload balancing

Monitoring and Observability

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

Logging, Auditing, and Compliance

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

Performance Tuning and Resource Optimization

  • Minimizing inference overhead and optimizing agent orchestration cycles
  • Utilizing model caching and lightweight embeddings for enhanced retrieval speed
  • Conducting load testing and stress scenario analysis for AI pipelines

Cost Control and Governance

  • Identifying agent cost drivers: API calls, memory, compute, and external integrations
  • Monitoring agent-level costs and establishing chargeback models
  • Enacting automation policies to prevent agent sprawl and reduce idle resource consumption

CI/CD and Rollout Strategies for Agents

  • Incorporating agent pipelines into CI/CD systems
  • Testing, versioning, and rollback strategies for iterative agent updates
  • Implementing progressive rollouts and secure deployment mechanisms

Failure Recovery and Reliability Engineering

  • Engineering for fault tolerance and graceful degradation
  • Applying retry, timeout, and circuit breaker patterns for agent reliability
  • Defining incident response and post-mortem frameworks for AI operations

Capstone Project

  • Construct and deploy an agentic AI system equipped with comprehensive monitoring and cost tracking
  • Simulate load, assess performance, and refine resource usage
  • Present the final architecture and monitoring dashboard to peers
