How AI Agents Handle High Concurrency: Admission, Backpressure, Async & Isolation

This article details a production-grade architecture for handling high concurrency in AI agent systems, covering real load estimation, admission control with bounded queues, async task processing, hierarchical concurrency budgets for models and tools, resource isolation via bulkheads, idempotency for state consistency, graded degradation strategies, and observability-driven capacity planning.
