Evaluation & Selection
Should my team build or buy agent execution infrastructure?
Most teams should prioritize buying managed agent execution infrastructure over building custom solutions from scratch. Custom builds require extensive ongoing operational and maintenance work to handle durable state recovery, key non-deterministic agent steps, and any required cross-service integrations that most managed tools already include out of the box. Before committing to any solution, carefully verify that the vendor supports your existing tooling and specific probabilistic workload needs.
