Part 3: Resilient Tool Calling — Model Context Protocol (MCP) & Sandboxing

← Previous Chapter: Part 2: Hierarchical Memory | Series Hub | Next Chapter: Part 4: AgentOps & Observability → Answer-first: Standardizing agent tools on the Model Context Protocol (MCP) provides type-safe JSON-RPC contracts, token-budget enforcement, and secure capability boundaries. Code execution tools must run inside isolated WebAssembly (WASI 0.2) or micro-VM sandboxes.

Part 7: Modular Monolith vs. Microservices vs. SpinKube Wasm Showdown

← Previous Chapter: Part 6 — Apache Kafka vs. NATS JetStream | Series Hub | Next Chapter: Part 8 — Redis Distributed State vs. Dapr Virtual Actors → Part 7: Modular Monolith vs. Microservices vs. SpinKube Wasm Showdown Answer-first: Modular Monoliths deliver unmatched developer velocity, zero-latency in-memory calls (~0.5ns), and local ACID transactions for small-to-medium teams. Containerized Microservices provide independent deployments and polyglot boundaries at the cost of high network serialization and memory overhead. SpinKube WebAssembly represents the next paradigm, achieving sub-millisecond cold starts, 100x container density, and 75% FinOps savings. ...
