Enterprise AI Architecture: Building Self-Healing, Autonomous Systems with Distributed Intelligence

Traditional monolithic AI applications often struggle with maintainability, debugging complexity, and cascading failures when components need to evolve. This post explores a novel framework architecture that addresses these challenges through autonomous nodes, distributed intelligence, and self-healing mechanisms. Instead of relying on monolithic AI systems, this approach distributes responsibility across specialized, self-managing components that maintain their own code, adapt to changes, and recover from failures independently. ...
