Building Trustworthy Agentic Systems with Workflow Orchestration
Abstract
As engineering teams explore building AI agents, one challenge becomes clear: agents don’t live in isolation, and trust in agentic systems is often lacking. Agents must interact with APIs, orchestrate tasks, manage long-running processes, bring humans into the loop, and operate reliably at scale. Without the right foundation, teams risk building brittle, one-off solutions that fail to meet enterprise requirements.
This session will unpack why workflow engines are the critical backbone for agentic
architectures. We’ll explore:
● How workflows provide structure and governance for autonomous agents
● Building trust in autonomous systems through transparency, auditability, and
observability
● Why reliability and fault tolerance are essential when agents interact with real-world
systems
● How leading teams are using workflow orchestration to evolve from prototype agents toproduction-ready AI systems

Beyond Vector Search: Building Ultra-Resilient AI with Distributed SQL
Wednesday Nov 19 / 11:45AM PST
As enterprises seek to move AI from proof-of-concept to production, standalone vector databases face limits in synchronization, ACID compliance, and resilience. This session shows how PostgreSQL-compatible distributed databases address these issues while keeping a familiar developer experience.

Stop Scaling Problems; Start Scaling Sustainability: The High Performance & Efficient Enterprise Data Cloud.
Wednesday Nov 19 / 01:35PM PST
Enterprises are no longer asking if they should scale their data cloud, but how. Unfortunately, traditional scaling approaches often lead to exploding costs, unpredictable performance, and significant operational overhead.
