MicroAgents: The Microservices of the Agentic Era
On a whiteboard, an AI agent is simple: Prompt + Tools + Model. In production it explodes into twenty terms of infrastructure: sessions, streaming, memory, auth, tracing, orchestration. Most teams build agents the way we built monoliths fifteen years ago, each a self-contained stack that cannot talk to the next.
This talk applies two decades of microservices wisdom to agentic AI. The unit of value is a MicroAgent: an MCP server plus a prompt template, owned by one team, plugged into a shared platform that handles everything else. We cover MCP as the API contract, why memory should be shared across all agents, multi-agent composition, and the engineering economics of building infra once instead of N times. You leave with a concrete blueprint, not a framework survey.
