Scaling
Take agentic systems from prototype to production — managing cost, reliability, and complexity as usage grows.
From working demo to production workload
A prototype that works for 10 users is not a system that works for 10,000. This chapter covers what changes when you scale agentic applications — from cost management and performance optimization to coordinating multiple agents on complex tasks.
You'll learn where the bottlenecks actually are (hint: it's rarely the model), how to keep costs from spiraling, and how to design multi-agent systems that cooperate instead of collide.
From Prototype to Production Workloads
Identify what breaks when agentic systems move from demo to real traffic — and how to prepare before it happens.
Cost Management and Optimization
Keep agentic system costs predictable and sustainable without sacrificing quality — through smart model selection, caching, and token budgets.
Multi-Agent Systems and Team Coordination
Design systems where multiple agents work together on complex tasks — with clear roles, communication protocols, and conflict resolution.
