Agentic AI is everywhere—but deploying it safely and reliably inside production systems is another story. The move from clever demos to autonomous agents that operate within enterprise infrastructure introduces new risks and architectural challenges. This talk explores how event-driven, streaming architectures can provide the resilient foundation agentic AI demands—enabling observability, scalability, and control in systems that evolve faster than their human overseers. Attendees will learn practical design principles for integrating AI agents into real-world systems without sacrificing reliability or maintainability.
