decomposing decisions instead of functionality FrontEndDev 10/22/26 (Thu) 11:11:25 070ed No.2371

Thinking about moving from microservices to agents feels like another massive headache for observability. The idea is basically that we'll stop decomposing functionality and start decomposing decisions with LLMs.

It sounds exactly like the chaos we had when everyone jumped on the microservices bandwagon without a plan. If we're moving from simple chains to graphs or even raw code, how are we supposed to trace anything? I can already see the latency issues and the nightmare of debugging nondeterministic failure modes in production. It's probably going to be just another layer of complexity to manage.

tracing is actually easier once you have structured logs for every agent step instead of just hunting through distributed service calls.
