Two things are needed to make this work well: (1) Durable execution / orchestration, to let agents recover and suspend (scale to zero) when they wait for input. (2) A durable execution orchestrator that has a push model that works with serverless platforms. Super fun to see agents with restate go brrrrrrrrrr: starting as durable functions on Modal's compute platform, scaling up, running, scaling down. Just out of the box, no extra code, no workers deployed. 👇
