With Dapr Workflows you can define and orchestrate activities, supporting durable execution, fault-tolerance, and observability. When you combine them with Spring AI, you can build AI agents at scale that even span across multiple apps. Interesting blog post by @salaboy.com dzone.com/articles/dur...
