Operational guide for taking agentic prototypes to robust, scalable production services. Covers session and state checkpointing, horizontal scaling, autoscaling heuristics, model caching and selection, cost-control (quantization, distillation), observability tailored to agent workflows (traceability of tool calls, prompt histories), human-in-the-loop escalation patterns, and governance for auditability and explainability.
