Introduction

10 Essential Principles

These 10 takeaways capture the essence of building resilient agentic systems. Master these principles and your workflows will handle failures gracefully, recover intelligently, and deliver reliable experiences.

Module Summary

You've learned how to build resilient error recovery into your agentic workflows. You now understand:

✓How to classify errors and determine which are retryable
✓Implementing intelligent retry strategies with exponential backoff and jitter
✓Using circuit breakers to prevent cascading failures
✓Designing fallback chains for graceful degradation

🎯

What's Next?

With robust monitoring and error recovery in place, you're ready to build more complex orchestration patterns. The next module introduces interactive workflow builders—visual tools for designing and testing agentic workflows.
