It all started with a conversation among friends about limitations in current multi-agent orchestration frameworks. We faced issues like limited control over agent memory and state, complicated persistence, scaling problems, and lack of type safety in Python-based tools. These challenges inspired us to try something different. The result was GraphFlow, a Rust-based lean framework for orchestrating multi-agent workflows that's simple, scalable, and robust. Its key features include: Graph-based orchestration: Easily define workflows using nodes and edges. Lean Execution Engine: A minimal and efficient graph executor / state machine implementation. Clear Memory Management: Direct and transparent handling of agent states. Simple DB Schema: Easy-to-understand schema for persistence and state tracking. High Performance: Native Rust performance with low overhead and easy scaling. Type Safety: Rust's type system reduces runtime errors. GraphFlow is open-source ofc and aims to solve real-world problems we've experienced firsthand. We'd love your feedback!
