An ITNEXT article argues that production AI agents need many of the same things event-streaming systems have handled for years: triggers, persistent state, crash recovery and communication between separate components.
Why it mattersThe author’s case is that tools such as Apache Kafka could provide those building blocks for agent systems. It is an architectural argument, not evidence that streaming alone solves the broader challenges of building reliable agents. The useful provocation: perhaps the next agent breakthrough is less about inventing a new runtime than adapting infrastructure already in use.
Discuss: Should teams build agent runtimes on established streaming infrastructure, or do agents need a new foundation?
