🗺️ Flock Roadmap to 1.0¶
Building Enterprise Infrastructure for AI Agents
This roadmap outlines Flock's path from v0.5.0 (production-ready core) to v1.0 (enterprise-complete) by Q4 2025. We're confident we can deliver the remaining enterprise features by Q4 2025.
✅ What's Already Production-Ready (v0.5.0)¶
Core Framework¶
- Blackboard orchestrator with typed artifacts
- Declarative agent subscriptions (no graph wiring)
- Automatic parallel + sequential execution
- Zero-trust visibility model (5 visibility types)
- Circuit breakers and self-trigger prevention
- 743 tests with 77.65% coverage (86-100% on critical paths)
- Type-safe retrieval API (
get_by_type())
Observability¶
- OpenTelemetry distributed tracing
- DuckDB trace storage (AI-queryable)
- Real-time dashboard with WebSocket streaming
- 7-mode trace viewer (Timeline, RED metrics, Dependencies, SQL)
- Service filtering and CSV export
- Full I/O capture with JSON viewer
Developer Experience¶
- MCP integration (Model Context Protocol)
- Best-of-N execution
- Exclusive delivery (exactly-once)
- Batch processing and join operations
- Conditional consumption (
where=lambda) - Rich console output and FastAPI service
- Keyboard shortcuts (WCAG 2.1 AA compliant)
🧱 0.5.0 Beta Initiatives (In Flight)¶
These are the features we are actively building for the 0.5.0 beta. Follow the linked GitHub issues to track progress:
Core data & governance¶
- #271 — Durable blackboard persistence backends.
- #274 — Serialization/export of blackboard state and registered agents.
- #273 — Structured feedback channel for agent outputs.
- #281 — Human-in-the-loop approval flow.
Execution patterns & scheduling¶
REST access & integrations¶
- #286 — Custom REST endpoint DSL.
- #287 — Synchronous publish endpoint (single and batch).
- #288 — Correlation-aware status endpoint.
- #289 — Webhook notifications for published artifacts.
- #290 — Schema discovery endpoints.
- #291 — REST idempotency keys and error model.
- #292 — Artifact listing and filtering API.
- #293 — OpenAPI specification generation.
Documentation & onboarding¶
🚀 Flock 1.0 (Target Q4 2025)¶
Once the 0.5.0 beta ships, we will focus on the remaining enterprise capabilities before the 1.0 release.
Reliability & operations¶
- #277 — Advanced retry strategy, dead-letter queues, per-agent circuit breakers.
- #278 — Kafka-backed event backbone with replay and time-travel debugging.
- #279 — Kubernetes deployment tooling (Helm charts, auto-scaling).
- #294 — Workflow lifecycle controls (pause, resume, cancel).
Platform validation & quality¶
- #275 — Benchmarking suite against industry workloads.
- #276 — Automated evaluation harness for datasets/metrics.
- #284 — Test coverage expansion to 85%+ with 1,000 tests.
- #285 — Production validation pilots with launch partners.
Security & access¶
- #280 — Authentication & authorization (OAuth/OIDC, API keys).
