Solace Agent Mesh: Why Agents Need an Event Backbone (Not Just Function Calls)


Details
## Unlock the Power of Agent Mesh with Solace – A Practical Tour
Agents are great at thinking—but how can they coordinate, adapt, and collaborate without brittle call chains?
Join Giri Venkatesan (Solace) for a hands-on session exploring Agent Mesh, a shared event backbone that enables autonomous agents to discover collaborators, orchestrate workflows, and adapt dynamically in real time.
### What You’ll Learn
- Intent Streams, not endpoints: Use Noun–Verb–Properties topics to make intent obvious, searchable, and self-routing—no service directory required.
- Dynamic orchestration & discovery: Let the best-suited agents step in, hand off work, and compose workflows on the fly.
- Gateways made simple: Convert REST, webhooks, or Slack commands into intents with request/reply correlation that feels like APIs but behaves like events.
- Reliability patterns that stick: Implement idempotency keys, retries/back-pressure, dead-letter queues (DLQs), and replay for fault recovery and auditability.
- Observability you can follow: Track end-to-end traces and causal “conversations” between agents for easy debugging and explainability.
- Interop where you are: Plug in LLM tools or MCP/A2A sources without rewriting agents—treat them as event participants.
- Live demo: See a fragile function-call flow transform into a resilient, fan-out “intent → fulfill → reply” conversation.
### Who Should Attend
- Agent/LLM Builders – turn brittle tool-call chains into intent-based, reply-correlated flows.
- Platform & SRE Teams – add retries, idempotency, DLQs, and replay you can operate.
- Data/ML (MLOps/RAG) – stream timely data with lineage and easy reprocessing.
- API/Integration Teams – bridge REST/webhooks/SaaS into intents via gateways.
- Architects/Tech Leads – leverage N-V-P topics for discovery, domain boundaries, and evolution.
- Security/Compliance Teams – enforce topic-level access and maintain audit-ready trails.
> Prior exposure to Event-Driven Architecture (EDA) is a plus!
