Partial Failure & Partial Retry

RPCs create recovery boundaries: When an execution crashes, only the executions within its recovery boundaries restart

Executions in different recovery boundaries (across RPCs) continue running.

Partial Failure but Total Retry?!

If we follow the familiar model of chained HTTP calls then a failure in the chain forces a restart from the failure point

This works for short-lived, cheap executions, but collapses under long-lived, expensive ones

I'm experimenting with animations for the 3rd chapter of Systems Engineering for Agentic Applications

This shows the call graph of the recursive, distributed Research Agent unfolding over time, highlighting durable promises

I dig the result but they are a lot of work 🥲
