In this discussion, we will explore the concept of LLM observability in depth, focusing on how OpenTelemetry can fit into the world of LLM observability . Additionally, we will talk about challenges around modeling of prompts, completions, events, semantic conventions, and basically our path with the llm-sem-conv working group.

[Virtual] PRO Session: Building Production Ready, Intelligent Agentic Systems with Dapr Agents
Thursday June 5, 2025 9:30am - 9:55am PDT
VIRTUAL AI DevSummit Main Stage
Mark Fussell, Diagrid, CEO
Yaron Schneider, Diagrid, Co-Founder / CTO

As developers push the boundaries of AI-driven automation, the challenge of orchestrating and managing autonomous agents at scale becomes increasingly complex. Dapr Agents is an open-source framework that dramatically lowers the creation of production ready agentic systems, powered by the CNCF Dapr's (dapr.io) distributed application runtime, used by thousands of enterprises today in mission critical services. By combining LLM-driven reasoning with Dapr’s virtual actor model, pub/sub messaging, and stateful workflows, Dapr Agents enables developers to build intelligent, scalable, and fault-tolerant multi-agent systems.

This talk will provide a deep dive into Dapr Agents, demonstrating how it facilitates structured LLM interactions, tool selection, memory retention, and event-driven communication. We'll explore practical use cases, from task automation to collaborative agentic workflows, and discuss best practices for designing real world, robust agent-based architectures. We will also compare different agentic frameworks in use today and show how many of them only address a few of the requirements needed to go into production environments. Attendees will gain hands-on insights into implementing Dapr Agents for real-world applications, optimizing performance, and seamlessly integrating with existing cloud-native infrastructures.

If you're interested in building intelligent, scalable, and resilient agentic systems, this session will equip you with the knowledge to easily build these.

At Intuit, the ML teams encountered challenges when managing and executing inference on high-throughput streaming data. Integrating with diverse messaging systems like Kafka, Pulsar, and SQS required considerable effort, while enabling intermediate data transformations and inference added complexity. Additionally, dynamically scaling inference workflows to handle fluctuating event volumes posed unique challenges.

To address these issues, we developed Numaflow, an open-source, Kubernetes-native platform designed for scalable event processing. Numaflow simplifies connections to various event sources, empowers teams to process and infer on streaming data with ease, and integrates effortlessly with existing infrastructure. This session is ideal for ML engineers, data scientists, and anyone interested in asynchronous inference on streaming data. We’ll dive into how Numaflow eliminates bottlenecks and optimizes inference on streaming data.
