Part 7: Production Architecture

Shannon Core Value: Three-Layer Architecture, Temporal Workflows, Observability

Chapter List

ChapterTitleCore Question
20Three-Layer ArchitectureWhy do we need Go/Rust/Python separation?
21Temporal WorkflowsHow to achieve durable execution and time-travel debugging?
22ObservabilityHow to monitor and debug production Agent systems?

Learning Objectives

After completing this Part, you will be able to:

  • Understand the value of control plane and execution plane separation
  • Use Temporal to implement durable workflows
  • Implement time-travel debugging (deterministic replay)
  • Build a complete observability system
