Presentation: What I Learned Building Multi-Agent Systems From Scratch
Paulo Arruda discusses Shopify’s evolution in AI adoption, moving from simple chat tools to a sophisticated swarm of specialized agents. He explains the transition from massive "all-in-one" prompts to lean, narrow-focused agent microservices that slash task times from hours to minutes. He also shares a future-looking hypothesis on using filesystem-based adapters to solve context bloat.
By Paulo ArrudaArticle: The Mathematics of Backlogs: Capacity Planning for Queue Recovery
Backlogs in distributed systems are arithmetic problems, not mysteries. This article provides practical formulas for calculating backlog drain time, sizing consumer headroom, and setting auto-scaling triggers. It covers key failure modes — retry amplification, metastable states, and cascading pipeline bottlenecks — plus when to shed load instead of draining.
