Reliable Agentic Systems need Durable Execution 🤖

Claim: durable execution via Dapr Workflow lets long‑running agentic pipelines resume from checkpoints and avoid re‑calling LLMs. Live demos run locally with a Dapr sidecar, Redis state store, .NET 9 apps and a Llama 3.2 model; the five‑stage spatial anomaly workflow, routing to a temporal‑rift handler, and parallel starship diagnostics (with voting) all complete and return specific outputs like “wormhole”, “temporal rift”, urgent repairs and a 2,550‑day construction estimate. Patterns shown: Prompt Chaining, Routing, Parallelization, Orchestrator‑Workers, Evaluator‑Optimizer.
