The Modern Application Stack: Orchestrating Workflows, Agents, and Governance for Adaptive Systems

Modern applications behave less like codebases and more like distributed, adaptive systems. In this talk, we’ll break down the architectural stack behind that shift: workflow orchestration, autonomous agents, scalability patterns, runtime governance, and experience design that responds to continuous change.Through a live build-and-run demo, we’ll dissect how these components integrate—how agents coordinate state, how workflows evolve without re-deployment, how governance constraints are enforced automatically, and how UX adapts intelligently at runtime. We’ll then stress-test the system with dynamic scenario changes to surface trade-offs, failure points, and architectural decisions you should consider. You’ll leave with a practical blueprint for designing systems that remain resilient and adaptive even as features, data, and operational conditions shift.
