## 🎛️ Execution Modes

### Sync Mode ⚡
```python
# Best for: Quick workflows, immediate results needed
{
  "execution_mode": "sync",
  "timeout": 30
}
# ✅ Pros: Immediate results, simple debugging
# ⚠️ Cons: Blocks current process, limited scalability
```

```

### Isolated Mode 🔒
```python
# Best for: Sensitive data, resource isolation, fault tolerance
{
  "execution_mode": "isolated",
  "timeout": 3600
}
# ✅ Pros: Complete isolation, fault tolerance, independent scaling
# ⚠️ Cons: Higher resource overhead, inter-process communication
```

## 📊 Monitoring and Management

### Real-time Status Tracking

```python
# Check execution status
status = check_execution_status("execution-id-123")

# Status responses:

## 🚧 Limitations and Considerations

### Current Limitations
- **Template-based Generation**: Generated workflows use predefined patterns
- **Resource Requirements**: Isolated mode requires adequate system resources
- **Network Dependencies**: Remote execution may have latency considerations
- **Configuration Complexity**: Very complex workflows may need manual refinement

### Performance Considerations
- **Memory Usage**: Multiple async executions can consume significant memory
- **CPU Utilization**: Isolated mode creates separate processes
- **Storage**: Temporary configurations require disk space
- **Network**: Distributed execution may have bandwidth requirements

### Security Considerations
- **Process Isolation**: Isolated mode provides security boundaries
- **Temporary Files**: Secure cleanup of temporary configurations
- **Resource Limits**: Timeout and resource constraints prevent runaway processes
- **Access Control**: Workflow execution respects file system permissions

# 2. Create ECS service with load balancer
aws ecs create-service \
  --cluster production \
  --service-name workflow-executor \
  --task-definition workflow-executor \
  --desired-count 3 \
  --load-balancers targetGroupArn=arn:aws:elasticloadbalancing:region:account:targetgroup/workflow-executor
```

#### **Google Cloud Run Deployment:**
```bash
# 1. Deploy to Cloud Run
gcloud run deploy workflow-executor \
  --image langswarm/workflow-executor:latest \
  --platform managed \
  --region us-central1 \
  --set-env-vars GOOGLE_CLOUD_PROJECT=your-project \
  --set-env-vars REDIS_URL=redis://your-redis-instance:6379 \
  --memory 4Gi \
  --cpu 2 \
  --min-instances 1 \
  --max-instances 10

# 2. Get service URL
SERVICE_URL=$(gcloud run services describe workflow-executor --region us-central1 --format 'value(status.url)')

# 3. Configure LangSwarm
echo "
tools:
  - id: cloud_workflow_executor
    type: mcpremote
    mcp_url: '$SERVICE_URL'
    headers:
      Authorization: 'Bearer \$(gcloud auth print-access-token)'
    timeout: 600
    retry_count: 5
" >> langswarm.yaml
```

## 📋 **Production Checklist**

### ✅ **Pre-Deployment**
- [ ] Choose deployment architecture (local, remote, distributed)
- [ ] Set up authentication and security (API keys, TLS certificates)
- [ ] Configure persistent storage (Redis, BigQuery, etc.)
- [ ] Plan resource allocation (CPU, memory, GPU requirements)
- [ ] Set up monitoring and logging infrastructure

### ✅ **Deployment**
- [ ] Deploy workflow executor instances
- [ ] Configure load balancers and networking
- [ ] Set up auto-scaling policies
- [ ] Configure backup and disaster recovery
- [ ] Test connectivity and basic functionality

### ✅ **Post-Deployment**
- [ ] Monitor performance and resource usage
- [ ] Set up alerting for failures and performance issues
- [ ] Test failover and recovery procedures
- [ ] Document operational procedures
- [ ] Train team on monitoring and troubleshooting

## 🔧 **Troubleshooting Guide**

### **Common Issues**

#### **Connection Timeouts**
```bash
# Increase timeout settings
tools:
  - id: workflow_executor
    type: mcpremote
    mcp_url: "http://workflow-server:4020"
    timeout: 600  # Increase from default 300
    retry_count: 5
```

#### **Memory Issues**
```bash
# Use isolated mode for memory-intensive workflows
execute_generated_workflow(
    workflow_description="Process large dataset",
    execution_mode="isolated",  # Separate process
    timeout=1800
)
```

#### **Authentication Failures**
```bash
# Verify API keys and certificates
curl -H "Authorization: Bearer your-api-key" \
     http://workflow-server:4020/execute_workflow
```

#### **Performance Optimization**
```yaml
# Route workflows based on complexity
agents:
  - id: smart_router
    system_prompt: |
      Route workflows intelligently:
      - Simple workflows → local execution
      - Complex workflows → remote high-performance instances
      - ML workflows → GPU-enabled instances
```
