Developing AI agents for production requires a shift from simple demos to robust infrastructure that handles network adversarial conditions, cost management, and state persistence. Key considerations include preferring documented APIs over scraping, implementing proper error handling for HTTP status codes like 403 and 429, and aggressive caching to avoid being blocked. For large-scale agent operations, managing fan-out is a queueing problem, necessitating solutions for duplicate work, retry storms, unbounded spawning, and backpressure, with tools like Temporal, Celery, and SQS being viable options. Furthermore, providing agents with a dedicated workspace, such as a filesystem or isolated git worktrees, is crucial for managing state and artifacts, rather than relying solely on context windows.
