Talk:
5 Capabilities Your Broker Needs for Agentic Workloads

Every agent framework is quietly reimplementing broker capabilities from scratch. Routing? Reimplemented per-framework. Retries? Each one rolls its own. Discovery, fan-out, backpressure, dead-lettering, durable execution: all reinvented in application code, inside a single process, with predictable results. Message brokers have solved these problems for decades, but today’s brokers weren’t designed for consumers that are stateless, non-deterministic, and expensive to invoke. Both sides need to evolve. This talk identifies the five properties a message broker must take on to serve agentic workloads natively, so agent frameworks can stop pretending to be infrastructure and get back to being applications.

Key Takeaways:

Attendees will learn to recognize where agent orchestration frameworks are reimplementing messaging infrastructure,
understand the specific demands that agentic workloads place on brokers that today’s designs do not address,
and leave with a clear picture of the capabilities their broker must gain to support this new class of consumer.

Target Audience:

Messaging engineers, architects, and technical leaders who operate message brokers in production and are starting to see agent-driven workloads arrive on their infrastructure. No prior AI or agent framework experience required.

Powering Asynchronous AI Agent Communication with MCP over AMQP

Amazon proposed using the AMQP messaging protocol as a transport for MCP at the inaugural MQ Summit in 2025. Ken Liao’s talk and demo sparked significant interest and follow-on discussion at last year’s summit leading to consensus to engage the AMQP community and ambition to extend the reach of the OASIS standard. Join Clemens, Stefan and Richard for an update on what’s been going on behind the scenes to take this vision to the next level and, most importantly, learn how you can get involved.
