- Implement idempotent APIs and state-handling patterns for resilient workflows (retries, partial failure, reconciliation)
- Create integration adapters and event-driven plumbing to safely connect workflows to internal systems
- Establish release and deployment practices: CI/CD pipelines, environment promotion, rollback strategies, and safe migrations
