Reddit debate: multi-agent systems still lack a production-grade communication substrate

A developer running multi-agent systems in production argues there's no communication layer purpose-built for agentic workloads: Kafka + Redis carries heavy ops overhead, homegrown queues lack replay and decay into tech debt, and framework primitives (LangGraph, CrewAI, AutoGen) lock you in with state explosion on long tasks. Common gaps: no out-of-the-box replay, no audit trails, no semantic search over agent decisions. The post asks how others handle agent-to-agent messaging and debug message flow in production.
