Developer at heart. Strong beer. All things SciFi.

The @agentican_ai open source, multi-agent framework now supports @temporalio as an alternative durable workflow runtime. That's what happens when open source meets open source ;)

Getting started with agentic workflows in Java and Quarkus #DEVCommunity https://t.co/j7KVaAPfBj

[Shane K Johnson @shane_dev]

It's time to stop talking about agent harnesses, and start building multi-agent harnesses.

You shouldn't have to choose between AI assistants and agentic workflows."

What if agents could chat with each other (and you) to perform tasks and provide feedback at the same time?

[Shane K Johnson @shane_dev]

Java agent frameworks like LangChain4j are code-first with annotated classes and programmatic workflows.

Agentican is different. It's declarative. Agents and workflows run within your app, exist outside of it.

New post on why that distinction matters.

[Shane K Johnson @shane_dev]

Like I said before, #java has been a bit behind when it comes to AI and #agents. Let's change that.

[Agentican @agentican_ai]

We're open-sourcing a multi-agent framework for Java.

Declarative plans. Parallel steps. Human checkpoints. Crash recovery. Two-line hello world.

Built from everything we learned building Agentican.

[Shane K Johnson @shane_dev]

Excited to bring an original, opinionated multi-agent framework to #java community! We've let Python have all the fun for too long ;)

Agents, skills, knowledge, tools, HITL, orchestration, state, web UI and internal agents. All in Java, for Java devs.

[Shane K Johnson @shane_dev]

HITL is always after the fact. Agents act. Human provide feedback. What if agents should ask for help or additional clarification before acting? With @agentican_ai, they can... and do.

[Shane K Johnson @shane_dev]

Added support for remote MCP servers as agent tools in @agentican_ai the other day. It turns out it wasn't that hard. Maybe I'll add A2A support next.

[Shane K Johnson @shane_dev]

I added support for remote MCP servers as agents tool in Agentican. Next, I'm thinking about A2A support so you can add remote agents to your team.

[Agentican @agentican_ai]

We shipped something no other agent platform has: agents that ask you questions.

Not approval gates. Actual questions — when instructions are unclear, when context is missing, when there are multiple valid paths.

Other frameworks agents guess. Ours ask.

[Agentican @agentican_ai]

Agentican is now in public preview, open to everyone.

No invitation. No waitlist. No credit card. Sign up and delegate your first task to AI agents in seconds.

100+ agents across 8 departments. You describe the task. They plan and run it.

☠️ Legal & Security review killed more AI projects than bad models ever did.

Security teams don't approve vibes.

Here's what we're seeing, and what we built and are launching today to fix it: 🧵

[João Moura @joaomdmoura]

I love Coffee and Winning deals for breakfast!

I'm so excited to share you all what we are showing some of these people!

Wanna know more sing up for out launch event, link on next tweet!

Don't let a DBaaS force you to pay for idle standby instances because you need high availability. There's a far more elegant and cost-effective solution. #cloud #dbaas https://t.co/FOlU65BO7C

[SkySQL @skysql]

SkySQL databases run over 8 billion queries per day, in production – all while ensuring continuous availability, predictable performance and low costs. Check it out, launch a database and be part of the story. #cloud #dbaas https://t.co/eIYugfKzhM

My second post on #NoOps. Sorry, I wasn't able to reference Anchorman or Star Wars in this one. But you can still find them in part I. Enjoy!

[FL0 @FL0Dev]

#NoOps is the perfect mix of cloud, abstraction and automation, topped with #serverless and #microservices. It's like a banana split for devs.

https://t.co/6QltJL01Sk

[Shane K Johnson @shane_dev]

DevOps vs NoOps, and I managed to insert Anchorman and Star Wars references. Short and sweet. Should be a fun read.

[FL0 @FL0Dev]

#NoOps is here, and it's great. And it may not be the threat to #DevOps some assume it is. Think right tool for the right job. https://t.co/4cN1mGU8Ox

[Shane K Johnson @shane_dev]

This time I'm writing about serverless functions as microservices. Personally, I'm big fan of serverless functions + API gateway.

[FL0 @FL0Dev]

Here are a few thoughts on how we can make it easier to deploy #serverless functions as #microservices. https://t.co/AE7gETeMI2
