Orchestrator

The orchestrator is the central system in Solace Agent Mesh that plays a crucial role in managing the overall workflow of requests. It acts as the central coordinator for processing complex, multi-step workflows while maintaining security, efficiency, and scalability.

In one sentence

Orchestrator is essentially the central intelligence that manages the overall workflow of requests in Solace Agent Mesh.

Key Functions​

The orchestrator provides the following key functions:

  1. Request Analysis and Action Planning:

    • Receives high-level goals or requests
    • Analyzes them in the context of available actions registered by agents in the system
    • Uses state-of-the-art generative AI techniques to plan a sequence of actions to fulfill the request

  2. Task Creation and Distribution:

    • Creates tasks based on the action plan
    • Distributes tasks to appropriate agents
    • Enables efficient parallel processing and optimal resource utilization

  3. Workflow Management:

    • Tracks outstanding tasks
    • Aggregates responses from various agents
    • Ensures all parts of a complex request are processed and combined coherently

  4. Response Formatting:

    • Formats aggregated responses suitable for the gateway
    • Ensures the final output meets the requirements of the specific use case or interface

Interaction with Other Components​

The orchestrator interacts closely with several other components in Solace Agent Mesh using the PubSub+ event broker:

  • Agents: Distributes tasks to and receives responses from various agents.
  • Gateways: Receives initial requests from and sends final responses to gateways.

By centralizing these critical functions, the orchestrator enables Solace Agent Mesh to handle complex, multi-step workflows while maintaining efficiency, and scalability.
