This chapter explores architectural strategies for building multi-agent systems. Here we break down two primary design approaches:
- Modular Monolith: A standalone application where orchestrator and specialized agents are organized as well-defined modules. This approach emphasizes simplicity, shared memory, and low-latency communication.
- Microservices: A distributed system where each agent (or group of agents) is encapsulated as a service. This model enables independent deployment, granular scalability and flexibility to use different tools, frameworks, or programming languages for each service.
Each approach has trade-offs in terms of performance, scalability, maintainability, team coordination, and operational complexity. This documentation explores those trade-offs and offers guidance to help you choose and implement the right architecture for your multi-agent system—based not only on technical goals, but also on your organization's structure and team dynamics.
