Production Deployment Architecture¶
Deploying atomic agent systems in production requires careful consideration of scalability, reliability, monitoring, and operational concerns that mirror enterprise data processing platforms.
Production System Bootstrap¶
The foundation of production deployment starts with a robust bootstrap system that can initialize, configure, and manage atomic agent systems:
File: src/session6/production_bootstrap.py
import os
import json
from typing import Dict, List, Any, Optional
from dataclasses import dataclass
@dataclass
class ProductionConfig:
"""Production configuration for atomic agent systems"""
environment: str
max_agents: int
memory_limit: int
token_limit: int
monitoring_enabled: bool
log_level: str
security_config: Dict
class ProductionSystemBootstrap:
"""Bootstrap atomic agent systems for production deployment"""
def __init__(self, config_path: str):
self.config = self._load_config(config_path)
self.system_components = {}
self.monitoring_agents = {}
self.health_status = {"status": "initializing", "components": {}}
def _load_config(self, config_path: str) -> ProductionConfig:
"""Load production configuration from file"""
try:
with open(config_path, 'r') as f:
config_data = json.load(f)
return ProductionConfig(
environment=config_data.get("environment", "production"),
max_agents=config_data.get("max_agents", 100),
memory_limit=config_data.get("memory_limit", 1000),
token_limit=config_data.get("token_limit", 500),
monitoring_enabled=config_data.get("monitoring_enabled", True),
log_level=config_data.get("log_level", "INFO"),
security_config=config_data.get("security", {})
)
except Exception as e:
# Fallback to default configuration
return ProductionConfig(
environment="production",
max_agents=50,
memory_limit=500,
token_limit=400,
monitoring_enabled=True,
log_level="INFO",
security_config={}
)
def initialize_production_system(self) -> Dict:
"""Initialize complete production system"""
initialization_steps = [
("core_orchestrator", self._setup_core_orchestrator),
("monitoring_system", self._setup_monitoring),
("security_layer", self._setup_security),
("health_checks", self._setup_health_checks)
]
initialization_results = {}
for step_name, setup_function in initialization_steps:
try:
result = setup_function()
initialization_results[step_name] = {"status": "success", "details": result}
self.health_status["components"][step_name] = "operational"
except Exception as e:
initialization_results[step_name] = {"status": "failed", "error": str(e)}
self.health_status["components"][step_name] = "failed"
self.health_status["status"] = "operational" if all(
status == "operational" for status in self.health_status["components"].values()
) else "degraded"
return {
"system_status": self.health_status["status"],
"initialization_results": initialization_results,
"configuration": {
"environment": self.config.environment,
"max_agents": self.config.max_agents,
"monitoring_enabled": self.config.monitoring_enabled
}
}
This bootstrap system provides the foundation for reliable production deployment with proper configuration management and initialization tracking.
Scaling Strategies Implementation¶
Production atomic agent systems need sophisticated scaling strategies that can handle varying workloads efficiently:
class ProductionScalingManager:
"""Manage scaling of atomic agent systems in production"""
def __init__(self, bootstrap_system: ProductionSystemBootstrap):
self.bootstrap = bootstrap_system
self.active_agents = {}
self.scaling_metrics = {
"current_load": 0,
"average_response_time": 0,
"agent_utilization": 0,
"scaling_events": []
}
self.scaling_thresholds = {
"scale_up_cpu": 70,
"scale_up_memory": 80,
"scale_down_cpu": 30,
"scale_down_memory": 40
}
def evaluate_scaling_needs(self, current_metrics: Dict) -> Dict:
"""Evaluate if scaling is needed based on current metrics"""
recommendations = []
# CPU-based scaling
cpu_usage = current_metrics.get("cpu_usage", 0)
if cpu_usage > self.scaling_thresholds["scale_up_cpu"]:
recommendations.append({
"type": "scale_up",
"reason": "high_cpu_usage",
"metric": cpu_usage,
"recommended_action": "add_agents"
})
elif cpu_usage < self.scaling_thresholds["scale_down_cpu"]:
recommendations.append({
"type": "scale_down",
"reason": "low_cpu_usage",
"metric": cpu_usage,
"recommended_action": "remove_agents"
})
# Memory-based scaling
memory_usage = current_metrics.get("memory_usage", 0)
if memory_usage > self.scaling_thresholds["scale_up_memory"]:
recommendations.append({
"type": "scale_up",
"reason": "high_memory_usage",

})
return {
"scaling_needed": len(recommendations) > 0,

}
def execute_scaling_action(self, action: Dict) -> Dict:
"""Execute scaling action based on evaluation"""
action_type = action.get("type")
reason = action.get("reason")
try:
if action_type == "scale_up":
return self._scale_up_agents(reason)
elif action_type == "scale_down":
return self._scale_down_agents(reason)
else:
return {"status": "no_action", "reason": "unknown_action_type"}
except Exception as e:
return {"status": "failed", "error": str(e)}
def _scale_up_agents(self, reason: str) -> Dict:
"""Scale up atomic agents based on demand"""
current_count = len(self.active_agents)
max_agents = self.bootstrap.config.max_agents
if current_count >= max_agents:
return {
"status": "limit_reached",
"message": f"Cannot scale beyond {max_agents} agents"
}
# Create new agent instance
new_agent_id = f"agent_{current_count + 1}"
new_agent = BaseAgent(
agent_name=new_agent_id,
system_prompt="Production data processing agent",
memory=None, # Stateless for scalability
max_tokens=self.bootstrap.config.token_limit
)
self.active_agents[new_agent_id] = {
"agent": new_agent,
"created_at": "current_time",
"reason": reason,
"status": "active"
}
# Record scaling event
self.scaling_metrics["scaling_events"].append({
"action": "scale_up",
"agent_id": new_agent_id,
"reason": reason,
"timestamp": "current_time"
})
return {
"status": "success",
"action": "scale_up",
"new_agent_id": new_agent_id,
"total_agents": len(self.active_agents)
}
This scaling manager provides intelligent scaling based on real-time metrics and system constraints.
Production Monitoring and Observability¶
Comprehensive monitoring is essential for production atomic agent systems:
class ProductionMonitoringSystem:
"""Complete monitoring system for production atomic agents"""
def __init__(self):
self.metrics_store = {}
self.alert_rules = {}
self.monitoring_agents = {}
def setup_monitoring_agents(self) -> Dict:

# Performance monitoring agent
self.monitoring_agents["performance"] = BaseAgent(

return {

}
# Store metrics for trending
timestamp = current_metrics["timestamp"]
self.metrics_store[timestamp] = current_metrics
# Analyze metrics with monitoring agents
analysis_results = {}
for monitor_type, monitor_agent in self.monitoring_agents.items():
try:
analysis_prompt = f"Analyze {monitor_type} metrics: {str(current_metrics)}"
analysis = monitor_agent.run(analysis_prompt)
analysis_results[monitor_type] = analysis
except Exception as e:
analysis_results[monitor_type] = f"Monitoring error: {str(e)}"
return {
"metrics": current_metrics,
"analysis": analysis_results,
"metric_history_size": len(self.metrics_store)
}
def check_alert_conditions(self, metrics: Dict) -> List[Dict]:
"""Check metrics against alert conditions"""

alerts.append({
"type": "error_rate_high",
"severity": "critical" if error_rate > 10 else "warning",
"value": error_rate,
"threshold": 5,
"message": f"Error rate {error_rate}% exceeds threshold"
})
# Response time alerts
response_time = metrics.get("average_response_time", 0)
if response_time > 5000: # 5 second threshold
alerts.append({
"type": "response_time_high",
"severity": "warning",
"value": response_time,
"threshold": 5000,
"message": f"Response time {response_time}ms exceeds threshold"
})
return alerts
This monitoring system provides comprehensive observability with intelligent analysis and alerting.
Security and Compliance Framework¶
Production systems require robust security and compliance measures:
class ProductionSecurityManager:
"""Security and compliance management for production atomic agents"""
def __init__(self, config: ProductionConfig):
self.config = config
self.security_policies = {}
self.audit_log = []

"read_only": ["view_metrics", "view_public_logs"]
}
return {
"access_levels_defined": len(self.access_control),
"permissions": self.access_control
}
def _setup_audit_logging(self) -> Dict:

audit_categories = [
"agent_lifecycle",

]
return {
"audit_categories": audit_categories,

}
def log_security_event(self, event_type: str, details: Dict) -> None:

"details": details,
"user_id": details.get("user_id", "system"),
"ip_address": details.get("ip_address", "localhost"),
"severity": details.get("severity", "info")
}
self.audit_log.append(event_entry)
# In production, this would write to secure log storage
print(f"Security Event Logged: {event_type}")
def validate_compliance(self) -> Dict:
"""Validate system compliance with security policies"""
compliance_checks = [
("access_control", self._check_access_control_compliance),
("audit_logging", self._check_audit_compliance),
("data_encryption", self._check_encryption_compliance)
]
compliance_results = {}
overall_compliance = True
for check_name, check_function in compliance_checks:
try:

overall_compliance = False
return {
"overall_compliance": overall_compliance,
"detailed_results": compliance_results,
"compliance_level": "full" if overall_compliance else "partial"
}
This security framework ensures production systems meet enterprise security and compliance requirements.
