Coordinating multiple agents or steps to complete a larger, complex task.
Orchestration defines the control flow: which agent runs next, how results are passed between steps, and how failures are handled. Tools like LangGraph model this as a directed graph, while simpler setups use linear chains. Good orchestration includes retry logic, state persistence, and observability so you can trace what happened.
Plainly
Think of Orchestration as a named building block in a big LEGO app. Coordinating multiple agents or steps to complete a larger, complex task.
In practice
Use it when you are mapping how the app is structured or explaining a feature to a teammate or agent. In practice, define the owner, input, output, and failure mode before you rely on it.
