How event-driven computing reduces unnecessary persistent workloads

If every agent is a long-running process, cost and blast radius grow with headcount. Institutions do not need that. They need work to start when an authorized event occurs, run inside a budget, and stop.

Event-driven and scheduled computation also make oversight possible: you can see which run happened, what it was allowed to touch, and whether a person had to approve the result.

What we do not claim

Dynamic wake-and-sleep of every worker at global scale is still an engineering problem in progress. This article is a design position, not a benchmark and not a product launch.
