Enterprise State Management - Answer Key¶

Question 1: State Persistence Strategy¶

Correct Answer: c) PostgresSaver with primary and backup clusters

Explanation: The production environment configuration uses PostgreSQL with cluster redundancy:

if self.environment == "production":
    return {
        "primary": PostgresSaver.from_conn_string(
            "postgresql://user:pass@prod-cluster:5432/langgraph_state"
        ),
        "backup": PostgresSaver.from_conn_string(
            "postgresql://user:pass@backup-cluster:5432/langgraph_state"
        ),
        "type": "postgres_cluster"
    }

PostgreSQL provides ACID compliance, enterprise-grade reliability, and backup cluster support for high availability production deployments.

Question 2: Health Monitoring¶

Correct Answer: b) Error rate > 30%, integrity issues, or execution > 30 minutes

Explanation: The automatic recovery system triggers on multiple conditions:

recovery_actions = []
if health_status["error_rate"] > 0.3:          # 30% error rate
    recovery_actions.append("enable_circuit_breaker")

if not integrity_valid:                         # State corruption
    recovery_actions.append("initiate_state_recovery")

if execution_duration > 1800:                   # 30 minutes (1800 seconds)
    recovery_actions.append("create_checkpoint")

This multi-factor approach ensures comprehensive system protection and proactive intervention.

Question 3: Routing Decision Weights¶

Correct Answer: b) Quality (40%) + Performance (30%) + Error resistance (20%) + Resource efficiency (10%)

Explanation: The high-quality path scoring algorithm uses weighted factors:

high_quality_score = (
    context.quality_score * 0.4 +              # 40% quality weight
    context.performance_score * 0.3 +          # 30% performance weight
    (1.0 - context.error_rate) * 0.2 +         # 20% error resistance weight
    (1.0 - context.resource_utilization) * 0.1  # 10% resource efficiency weight
)

This weighting prioritizes result quality while considering performance, reliability, and efficiency.

Question 4: Business Constraints¶

Correct Answer: b) High-quality path +30%, escalation +20%, fallback -50%

Explanation: Critical priority tasks receive specific score adjustments:

if context.business_priority == "critical":
    # Boost high-quality and escalation paths
    constrained_scores[RoutingDecision.HIGH_QUALITY_PATH] *= 1.3      # +30%
    constrained_scores[RoutingDecision.ESCALATION_REQUIRED] *= 1.2    # +20%
    # Reduce fallback processing for critical tasks
    constrained_scores[RoutingDecision.FALLBACK_PROCESSING] *= 0.5    # -50%

These adjustments ensure critical tasks receive premium processing with reduced fallback likelihood.

Question 5: Quality Assessment¶

Correct Answer: b) Length (25%) + Keywords (35%) + Structure (25%) + Complexity (15%)

Explanation: The composite quality score combines multiple dimensions:

composite_score = (
    length_score * 0.25 +       # 25% - optimal content length
    keyword_score * 0.35 +      # 35% - analytical vocabulary
    structure_score * 0.25 +    # 25% - organization indicators
    complexity_score * 0.15     # 15% - depth and sophistication
)

This multi-dimensional approach evaluates content comprehensiveness, professional terminology, organizational structure, and analytical depth.
