Agentic Workflows

You'll learn how to classify saga and agent-pipeline steps as reversible, semi-reversible, or terminal, and use that classification to decide execution order so your rollback path never tries to undo something that can't be undone.

You'll learn how to spot when a saga across services is actually hiding a bad bounded-context split, and how to test whether a given saga is justified or just compensating for a broken service boundary.

You'll learn why an agent's plan silently loses spec constraints like transaction boundaries and idempotency, and how to catch those gaps with a traceability check before they reach production.

A compensation handler that had never once fired in production finally ran — cleanly, successfully, logged as a win — and quietly refunded the same customer twice, which is exactly the failure mode agentic pipelines are about to hit on a much faster clock.
