Cheat Sheet

Course Glossary

Why do so many agentic systems fail to traverse the gap between development and production? In this course, you'll find out! Learn how to design and develop AI agents with scalability in mind, following the three pillars of agentic scalability: robust infrastructure and tooling, modular design architecture, and continuous evaluation and feedback loops. You'll learn about how agentic frameworks like the Model Context Protocol (MCP) and the Agent-to-Agent protocol (A2A) enable cleaner and faster integrations between data sources and agents. Finally, learn about the tests and deployment strategies to set your agent up to deliver value.

<h2>Design and Develop Agents for Scaling</h2>
Learn how to design and develop AI agents with scalability in mind, following the three pillars of agentic scalability: modularity, robustness, and adaptability. Discover what makes a successful agent in production, and why so many struggle to get there.<br><br><h2>Discover the Power of MCP and A2A</h2>
The Model Context Protocol (MCP) developed by Anthropic has revolutionized agent interoperability, creating a unified approach for connecting agents to data sources. The Agent-to-Agent protocol (A2A) developed by Google compliments MCP. Find out how these two frameworks can be combined to ensure your agent's integrations are scalable.<br><br><h2>Implement Agent Testing and Deployment Best Practices</h2>Before pressing the big red button and launching your agent into production, you've got to mitigate the risks that come with scaling. Learn how to create a robust testing framework to capture issues with components, integrations, performance, and security. Decide which deployment type is right for your agent by looking at the needs of the use case.
