Agents Are Products, Not Prompts: Engineering Principles for Effective AI Agents
When AI agents fail, it's rarely the model's fault — it's because they weren't designed, they were just prompted into existence. Teams treat agent creation as prompt engineering when it should be software engineering. The result? Agents that work inconsistently, can't be maintained, and break when requirements change.
I'll present a framework for designing agents as engineered products with clear architecture, testable behavior, and maintainable structure. You'll see a production agent decomposed component by component, walk through real agents that fill roles across the software development lifecycle, and leave with a repeatable process you can apply immediately.
Event-driven Architecture, Micro-services and the Cloud
Event-driven architectures are a versatile approach to designing and integrating complex software systems. Event-driven architecture is not a new concept, but as more organizations evolve and are open to move more features to the cloud, this approach to system design has become appropriate in more situations and is worth a fresh look.
In this session we'll talk about orchestrating enterprise workflows in the cloud using Event-driven approaches, how to build new services to participate, and design patterns for integrating existing/legacy applications.
We'll also hit a few topics including:
• Eventually consistent data and how to keep your data warehouse team happy
• Command-Query Response Segregation
• The Mediator design pattern
• Event Sourcing
