Pattern Gallery

Click a pattern to explore its architecture, message flow, and trade-offs. Use the comparison mode to evaluate two patterns side by side.

Key insight: No single pattern is universally best. The right architecture depends on your task complexity, latency budget, and failure tolerance. Most production systems combine patterns, using a planner at the top level with specialist pools for sub-tasks.
