Agentic Distributed Systems

Module 02

Planned

Time, Order, and Causality

Async tools, retries, and nested agents have no global clock. Logical time still works.

In this module

  • 01Why wall-clock time fails for agent traces
  • 02Lamport and vector clocks applied to agent flows
  • 03Causality as the basis for debugging multi-agent loops
  • 04OpenTelemetry GenAI conventions through a distributed-systems lens
