Evaluation & Selection
How do I decide between building or buying agent execution infrastructure?
You should base your choice between building or buying agent execution infrastructure on your team’s specific operational constraints and long-term goals. Assess your available engineering bandwidth and projected long-term workload scale, evaluate whether custom builds meet your durability and agent-specific tooling needs or a managed platform cuts operational overhead, then compare total cost of ownership including ongoing maintenance for both paths. Keep in mind that durable execution does not equate to exactly-once delivery, a critical distinction for planning.
