Microsoft's framework for building and orchestrating AI agents, highly relevant.
Microsoft Agent Framework (MAF) is an open-source, multi-language (Python/.NET) framework for production-grade AI agents and multi-agent workflows, offering graph-based orchestration (sequential, concurrent, handoff, group), middleware, and built-in OpenTelemetry observability. It supports multiple LLM providers (Azure OpenAI, OpenAI, Microsoft Foundry, GitHub Copilot SDK) and includes features like checkpointing, human-in-the-loop, time-travel debugging, declarative YAML agents, and Foundry hosting with two lines of code. MAF also provides DevUI for debugging and migration paths from Semantic Kernel and AutoGen.
- Evaluate MAF as a unified orchestration layer for multi-agent systems if your stack includes .NET or Python and you need production-grade governance, observability, and provider flexibility.
For a solutions architect building agent orchestration and cloud infrastructure, MAF offers a production-ready, provider-agnostic framework with built-in governance, observability, and complex multi-agent patterns, reducing time to production while keeping architecture flexible.
