The premise
Production agents need durable state; in-memory state is fine for demos but breaks scale and reliability.
What AI does well here
- Externalize agent state to persistent stores (database, key-value, queue)
- Design state schemas that survive agent restarts
- Implement state migration for agent updates
- Build observability into state transitions for debugging
What AI cannot do
- Skip the operational complexity of state management
- Substitute in-memory state for durability needs
- Eliminate the testing burden of stateful systems
