What multi-agent orchestration actually requires in 2026
2026 stack: LangGraph (state machine), CrewAI (role-based), AutoGen (Microsoft), or Composio (managed). Pure-code: OpenAI Swarm pattern. Observability: Langfuse + LangSmith + Arize ML to trace cross-agent calls. Coordinator persistence in Redis or Postgres event store. Multi-agent engineers must design coordination protocols: who can call whom, what counts as completion, how to handle conflicting outputs. This is closer to distributed-systems engineering than LLM prompting. Most "agent devs" hit a wall at 3+ agent coordination.
