Resilience by Default
What you will learn:
Same parallel, from the resilience side. Blast-radius containment, golden paths, and idempotent recovery were how Platform Engineering kept the SDLC standing under load. Agentic systems do not change those principles, they raise the stakes. I will show how the resilience patterns we built for pipelines and services apply to AI and agentic workloads, and where the failure modes are genuinely new.
