Course Outline

Foundations of Agentic Systems in Production

  • Agentic architectures: loops, tools, memory, and orchestration layers
  • Agent lifecycle: development, deployment, and continuous operation
  • Challenges associated with production-scale agent management

Infrastructure and Deployment Models

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

Monitoring and Observability

  • Key metrics: latency, success rate, memory usage, and agent call depth
  • Tracing agent activity and analyzing call graphs
  • Implementing observability via Prometheus, OpenTelemetry, and Grafana

Logging, Auditing, and Compliance

  • Centralized logging and structured event collection
  • Ensuring compliance and auditability in agentic workflows
  • Designing 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
  • Load testing and stress scenario analysis for AI pipelines

Cost Control and Governance

  • Analyzing agent cost drivers: API calls, memory, compute, and external integrations
  • Tracking agent-level costs and implementing chargeback models
  • Establishing automation policies to prevent agent sprawl and idle resource consumption

CI/CD and Rollout Strategies for Agents

  • Integrating agent pipelines into CI/CD systems
  • Testing, versioning, and rollback strategies for iterative agent updates
  • Progressive rollouts and safe deployment mechanisms

Failure Recovery and Reliability Engineering

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

Capstone Project

  • Build and deploy an agentic AI system with comprehensive monitoring and cost tracking
  • Simulate load, measure performance, and optimize resource usage
  • Present the final architecture and monitoring dashboard to peers
