Module Overview
Stateless vs stateful designs, memory strategies, session management, tradeoffs in complexity vs maintainability, and when to persist conversation state.
Learning Objectives
- Choose appropriate architecture for a use-case (stateless vs stateful).
- Implement basic session management patterns and short-term memory strategies.
- Evaluate complexity tradeoffs and plan for maintainability.
