State Stores & Persistence
What’s the difference between workflow and conversation agent state?
Workflow and conversation agent states serve distinct, non-interchangeable roles in production systems. Workflow execution state tracks deterministic agent steps and progress, with automatic persistence from its execution layer, while conversation state holds user session context and chat history, often needing dedicated session storage, with business data typically stored in separate dedicated stores. Mixing these states can complicate compliance and scaling for production workloads, so keeping them separate is advisable.
