Primary Functions
Task Execution
- Executes individual task units
- Manages task lifecycle
- Handles parallel execution
- Reports execution status
Workflow Management
- Orchestrates multi-step workflows
- Manages task dependencies
- Supports conditional branching
- Handles workflow state
Agent Coordination
- Manages agent pool lifecycle
- Allocates agents to tasks
- Coordinates agent collaboration
- Monitors agent health
Execution Patterns
| Pattern | Use Case | Characteristics |
|---|
| Sequential | Dependent tasks | Ordered, blocking |
| Parallel | Independent tasks | Concurrent, efficient |
| Reactive | Event-driven | Triggered, async |
| Hybrid | Complex workflows | Mixed patterns |
Resilience Features
Fluxio provides robust error handling:
- Automatic Retries - Configurable retry policies
- Checkpointing - Save and resume progress
- Circuit Breakers - Prevent cascade failures
- Graceful Degradation - Continue with reduced functionality
Agent Lifecycle
Created → Initialized → Active → Executing → Idle → Terminated
Agents are pooled and reused for efficiency, with automatic cleanup of idle instances.
