What organizes, connects, or makes decisions possible.
A pub/sub mesh is an agentic architecture in which agents exchange events through shared topics instead of calling one another directly.
The pattern combines publish-subscribe messaging with coordination among distributed agents. The mesh idea emphasizes a shared communication surface where agents can dynamically subscribe to topics without a central call chain.
Each agent publishes observable events and reacts to subscribed topics. The bus decouples senders and receivers, but does not solve ownership or delivery guarantees: contracts, identity, loop protection, and monitoring remain necessary.
A communication bus connects many agents through named topics instead of direct call chains.
Agents can subscribe to topics or change subscriptions without requiring publisher changes.
Message contracts, authorization, idempotency, and loop protection keep interactions safe.
A pub/sub mesh can loosely couple specialized agents and make new reactions pluggable. It suits event-driven flows with multiple participants, while requiring clear ownership, cost, and troubleshooting boundaries.
