Build a durable incident-response agent with Agentspan
Blog post from Orkes
AI agents can be vulnerable to failures in external tools and distributed worker processes, which may otherwise cause executions to disappear, duplicate, or stall indefinitely. The tutorial demonstrates how Agentspan, an agent orchestration platform, preserves a durable incident-triage agent run when its external Python tool worker is deliberately terminated. It guides users through deploying the Agentspan server with Docker Compose, defining an agent that calls an external incident-context tool, running that tool in a separate worker process, starting an execution while the worker is unavailable, and tracking the same execution ID through the CLI and web UI. Agentspan schedules the tool call as server-side durable work, allowing the execution to remain in a running state until the worker returns; after restart, the queued task is handled and the original execution completes with an incident summary and recommended action. The UI provides an execution history, timeline, timestamps, status, and workflow details, illustrating that the agent run remains a managed and inspectable platform record throughout the outage.
