Explore the architectural tension between sequential coordination and parallel processing in serverless systems. This episode examines how Durable Objects can become bottlenecks when introducing asynchronous agents and MCP integrations. Learn why refactoring coordinators to handle pure orchestration—before migrating domain logic to cloud agents—is critical for avoiding dual coordination layers. Discover the subtle sequencing problems that emerge when scaling from linear workflows (script generation → audio rendering → publishing) to parallel agent architectures, and understand why the order of refactoring operations can make or break your system's ability to handle concurrent workloads.

In this episode:
