The Evolution of Open-Source AI Agent Frameworks in 2025

Seth Keddy — Thu, 18 Sep 2025 05:02:51 +0000

I have the honor of doing a rewrite to my original article:
https://dev.to/kedster/open-source-ai-agent-frameworks-4n45

As AI development matures, the hype cycle is giving way to practical engineering. Developers aren’t just experimenting with chatbots anymore—they’re building autonomous, multi-agent systems that can reason, plan, and collaborate across complex workflows. The challenge is moving from toy demos to production-ready solutions that handle scale, reliability, observability, and integration.

This is where open-source AI agent frameworks are stepping up. These platforms give back-end engineers the building blocks for designing agents that are not just “smart” but also secure, resilient, and adaptable in real-world environments.

Below are some of the frameworks that matter today—spanning the experimental to the enterprise-ready—and how they’re shaping the next generation of agent-based applications.

LangChain + LangGraph

Where it shines: Prototyping → Structured workflows

LangChain remains the most popular entry point, but it has shifted from being the “Swiss Army knife” of LLM tools into a foundation for more structured agentic workflows. LangGraph adds graph-based orchestration, enabling developers to explicitly model state, memory, and control flow between agents.

Best for: developers needing rapid prototyping and lightweight orchestration.

Limitations: not as production-hardened; struggles with large-scale reliability without heavy customization.

Repo: LangChain GitHub

CrewAI

Where it shines: Human-like team collaboration

CrewAI leans into the metaphor of “agent crews”—assigning agents defined roles, responsibilities, and shared objectives. It’s particularly good for scenarios where multiple specialized agents need to collaborate as if they were human team members working in parallel.

Best for: collaborative workflows (e.g., content generation pipelines, research assistants).

Limitations: coordination overhead grows quickly; needs guardrails for reliability.

Repo: CrewAI GitHub

AutoGen (Microsoft Research)

Where it shines: Conversational multi-agent orchestration

AutoGen focuses on creating multi-agent conversations to solve problems. Agents can negotiate, reason, and refine solutions by “talking” to each other, which is especially useful for iterative problem-solving like code generation, data analysis, and decision-making.

Best for: research-heavy and R&D-style use cases.

Limitations: conversation-heavy design can become inefficient for high-throughput or latency-sensitive environments.

Repo: AutoGen GitHub

Semantic Kernel

Where it shines: Enterprise integration + deterministic control

Microsoft’s Semantic Kernel has evolved into an SDK for blending LLM-powered reasoning with enterprise-grade integrations. Its strong ties to C#, .NET, and Python make it attractive for businesses that want to slot AI agents into existing enterprise architectures rather than rebuilding from scratch.

Best for: enterprise teams looking for connectors to data sources and deterministic planning.

Limitations: heavier learning curve; requires Microsoft ecosystem buy-in.

Repo: Semantic Kernel GitHub

ModelScope-Agent

Where it shines: Open-source flexibility + API-first approach

ModelScope-Agent is built around open-source LLMs, making it attractive for organizations that want customizable, API-driven agent systems without locking into proprietary providers. It emphasizes modularity, tool-use, and memory control—critical for real-world assistant-like agents.

Best for: developers wanting full transparency and adaptability with OSS LLMs.
Limitations: fewer guardrails and ecosystem support compared to bigger players.

Repo: ModelScope-Agent GitHub

Rising Players You Should Watch

LlamaIndex (formerly GPT Index): Now more than just a data-connection library, it’s becoming an orchestration layer for knowledge-rich agents.
Haystack 2.0: From document search to multi-agent orchestration with observability baked in.
OpenAI’s Swarm & Function Calling APIs: Not OSS, but setting the tone for how commercial frameworks are expected to behave.
SkyPilot & Ray AIR: Distributed computing frameworks that increasingly intersect with agent orchestration.

The Future: From Frameworks to Platforms

The big picture is this: 2023–2024 was about experimentation, 2025 is about operationalization. The winning frameworks will be the ones that solve hard engineering problems—state management, monitoring, security, and scalability—while still empowering developers to build creative, adaptive agents.

The choice of framework now depends on what stage you’re at:

Rapid prototyping → LangChain / CrewAI
Research & iterative problem-solving → AutoGen
Enterprise-grade integration → Semantic Kernel
OSS-driven assistants & full-stack control → ModelScope / LlamaIndex

In other words: the tooling is catching up to the vision of autonomous, collaborative digital agents. The next step is standardization and making these systems safe, observable, and trustworthy at scale.

What an MX Priority Number Is

Seth Keddy — Mon, 15 Sep 2025 16:54:34 +0000

What an MX Priority Number Is

MX (Mail Exchange) records tell the world which mail servers handle email for a domain.

Each MX record has a priority number (technically called the preference value).

The rule: the lower the number, the higher the priority.

Example:

10 mail1.example.com → first choice

20 mail2.example.com → backup

30 mail3.example.com → last resort

So if a mail server wants to deliver mail to @example.com, it asks DNS for MX records, sorts them by priority number, and tries the lowest value first.

Where the Priority System Came From

The system was defined in the early 1980s with RFC 974 (1986), later refined by RFC 2821 (2001) and now RFC 5321 (SMTP).

At the time, networks were flaky and servers unreliable. Engineers needed a way to tell senders: “Here’s the main server, and if that’s down, here’s where to go next.”

Instead of a single MX record, domains could list multiple, with numbers encoding the order.

Why We Need It

Failover: If the primary mail server is unreachable, mail gets retried against the next priority.
Load distribution: By giving multiple records the same priority number, servers randomly spread the load.
Redundancy: Allows backup servers to hold or relay mail when the primary is offline.
Control: Admins can influence which servers get hit first without DNS hacks.

How It Really Works (and Misconceptions)

Not “try all at once.” Mail servers don’t shotgun mail to every MX host. They:

Sort MX records by priority (lowest number first).
Attempt delivery to the first.
If it fails (e.g., connection refused, timeout), they move to the next.
They wait and retry according to SMTP rules.

Equal numbers = round robin. If two MX records share the same number, the sender chooses randomly.

It only goes “down the list” if higher-priority hosts fail.

Odd Things That Have Happened

Misconfigured MX traps: Some admins set a backup MX at a remote ISP, thinking it was safe but spam often piles up there, bypassing spam filters on the main server.

MX with no A record: Sometimes domains publish MX pointing to hosts that don’t exist (typo or misconfiguration). Mail gets stuck retrying until it fails.

Priority confusion: Some admins mistakenly think “higher number = higher priority” and reverse their setup. Result: their “backup” ends up handling all mail.

Spam farms exploiting MX failover: Attackers sometimes hit the backup MX directly, knowing they’re often less protected.

Failover and Redundancy in Action

Normal path: Mail goes to the MX with the lowest number.
Failure mode: If that host is down or unreachable, the sending server waits a bit, then retries the next priority host.
Persistence: SMTP is patient. It will queue and retry mail for days (default up to 5 days) before bouncing.
Redundancy with backup MXs: Backup servers don’t usually deliver the mail they queue and forward to the primary once it comes back online.

The Subtlety of “1” vs. Other Numbers

Numbers don’t have to start at 1 you can use 0, 5, 10, 100, etc.

Convention: leave gaps (10, 20, 30) so you can “slot in” new servers later.

A record with priority 1 doesn’t mean “faster” than 10 in practice — just “preferred.”

Key Takeaways

MX priority numbers are the order of preference, not speed boosters.

Lowest number = first choice.

They enable failover, redundancy, and load sharing in email delivery.

Misconfigurations and assumptions have caused weird behaviors (and spam headaches).

The system is simple but critical one mis-set number can reroute an entire organization’s email.

Setting Up Email DNS Records: Why Your Domain Still Isn’t Ready to Send

Setting Up Email DNS Records: Why Your Domain Still Isn’t Ready to Send

Seth Keddy — Thu, 11 Sep 2025 16:20:44 +0000

So you’ve added your domain — let’s say example.com — but you’re still not quite ready to send and receive email reliably. That’s because adding the domain is just step one.

To actually deliver messages without bouncing, landing in spam, or failing authentication, you need to configure a few DNS records. Let’s break them down.

1. MX Records: The Mailbox Locator

What they do: MX (Mail Exchanger) records tell the internet where to deliver inbound mail for your domain. Without them, incoming mail has nowhere to go.

Example:

example.com. 3600 IN MX 10 mail.example.com.

2. SPF: Authorize Your Sending Servers

What it does: Sender Policy Framework (SPF) is a TXT record that lists which mail servers are allowed to send on behalf of your domain.

Example:

example.com. 3600 IN TXT "v=spf1 include:mailprovider.com -all"

3. DKIM: Sign Your Outgoing Messages

What it does: DomainKeys Identified Mail (DKIM) adds a cryptographic signature to your messages. It proves that the message hasn’t been tampered with and that it really came from your domain.

Example:

selector1._domainkey.example.com. 3600 IN TXT "v=DKIM1; k=rsa; p=MIIBIjANBg..."

4. DMARC: Guard Against Spoofing

What it does: DMARC ties SPF and DKIM together. It tells receiving mail servers how to handle suspicious mail that pretends to be from your domain.

Example:

_dmarc.example.com. 3600 IN TXT "v=DMARC1; p=quarantine; rua=mailto:dmarc-reports@example.com"

How Long Does It Take?

After publishing these records, allow up to 24 hours for DNS propagation. Once live, you can confirm setup in your email provider’s dashboard.

TL;DR

Add MX for inbound mail
Add SPF to authorize senders
Add DKIM to sign mail
Add DMARC to protect your brand

Do this, and your emails will actually get delivered where they belong — the inbox.

Automating the Setup

Manually copying and pasting DNS records works, but if you’re managing multiple domains or want to eliminate human error, automation is your friend.

Here are a few ways to streamline the process:

Cloudflare DNS Templates
Cloudflare lets you import/export DNS records via API or Terraform. You can store your “email baseline” (MX, SPF, DKIM, DMARC) and apply it instantly to new domains.

DNSRedo (purpose-built automation)
DNSRedo.com focuses specifically on email deliverability. It scans your domain, identifies missing records, and can auto-populate the correct values for your mail provider. Instead of chasing down TXT strings and copying keys, you hit a button and DNSRedo does the heavy lifting.

**Infrastructure as Code
**Tools like Terraform or Pulumi can manage DNS records as code. Define your SPF, DKIM, and DMARC once, then version-control and deploy them consistently across domains.

**Registrar APIs
**Some registrars (Namecheap, Google Domains, Route53) have APIs that let you script record creation. If you’re comfortable with Python/PowerShell, you can push out the entire email setup with one command.

Why Automate?

Consistency: No forgotten DKIM keys or typos in SPF.

Speed: Set up new domains in seconds, not hours.

Auditability: Store your DNS configs in Git and know exactly what changed and when.

If you’re serious about email deliverability and scaling domain management, automation isn’t optional — it’s the default.

Subdomains and What Do You Mean You’re Not Using Them?

Subdomains and What Do You Mean You’re Not Using Them?

Seth Keddy — Sun, 07 Sep 2025 00:39:22 +0000

Let me be blunt: if you’re still buying a brand-new domain every single time you want to test an idea, spin up an app, or deploy a project, you’re not just wasting money—you’re missing one of the most powerful tools every developer should know by heart.

We’re living in a time where apps are spun up in days, not months. Frameworks, APIs, hosting platforms, and automation have compressed the dev cycle down to a blur. And yet, I constantly meet developers who proudly tell me:

“Yeah, I just buy a new domain for every project.”

That’s insane. Stop doing that.

Why This Matters Right Now

In this era of hyper-development, you need speed. You need agility. And you need cheap, reliable ways to host and test ideas.

Here’s my reality: at one point, I had 50 different apps in the works. There was no chance I was going to buy 50 domains just to point at each one. Not only would that burn through cash, it would bury me in renewal notices, registrar accounts, and DNS sprawl.

So what’s the solution?

Subdomains.

What a Subdomain Really Is

Let’s strip the mystery away. A subdomain is nothing more than a string that comes before your root domain.

If your domain is:

yourcoolproject.com

Then a subdomain is:

app1.yourcoolproject.com
api.yourcoolproject.com
dashboard.yourcoolproject.com

That’s it. No magic. No expensive trickery. Just an extra label pointing to a server you control.

One domain can house dozens, hundreds, even thousands of subdomains. It’s like buying one big piece of land and dividing it into as many plots as you want, instead of buying 50 separate lots.

The Junk Domain Strategy

Here’s the play:

Buy a cheap domain. Don’t get lured into those $0.99 domains that skyrocket to $80 on renewal. Find one that costs a dollar up front and around $12 a year after.

This becomes your “junk domain”—your experimental playground.

Point every single project, test app, and throwaway idea at subdomains of that one domain.

If you’re deep in dev mode for a year, you’ll end up with app1.junkdomain.com, testapi.junkdomain.com, demo.junkdomain.com… and so on.

And when you’re done? Kill the subdomain. Move on. Rinse and repeat.

But… What About SEO?

Yeah, yeah. I can already hear the objections.

“But Seth, subdomains hurt SEO!”
“But Seth, won’t this confuse users?”
“But Seth, won’t it take away from my main site?”

Listen. This advice isn’t for your production marketing site. If you’re trying to build an e-commerce business or funnel organic search traffic, go ahead and buy a clean root domain. Fine.

But if you’re in builder mode, and you’re kicking out apps to test, validate, or demo, SEO is irrelevant. You’re not here to climb Google. You’re here to ship faster without draining your wallet.

How to Create a Subdomain (The Fast Way)

Okay, let’s cut to the chase.

A subdomain is created by adding a record in your DNS provider.

Manual Way:

Log in to your DNS host (GoDaddy, Namecheap, Cloudflare, etc.).

Add a new DNS record:

Type: A (points to an IP) or CNAME (points to another domain).

Name: The subdomain prefix (app1, test, etc.).

Value: The server or platform you want traffic to go to.

Save. Done.

Now if you visit app1.yourdomain.com, boom—you’re looking at your app.

Automated Way:

If you don’t want to babysit DNS settings every time, use tools:

DNSRedo – Connect your domain, click a button, and it creates subdomains for you. Bonus: it keeps long-term DNS backups, which Cloudflare won’t.

Cloudflare – If you’re already using it, you can spin up records quickly. Just note: no backups.

Don’t Skip Security

Let’s be real. DNS does not provide security. It just points people to servers.

If your server is misconfigured, unpatched, or wide open, pointing a subdomain at it doesn’t magically make it safe. All you’ve done is put a big neon sign over your insecure system.

So:

Harden your servers.
Patch your software.
Don’t expose things you wouldn’t expose on a normal domain.

If you’re just serving static sites, React apps, or serverless functions via Cloudflare or Netlify, you’re fine. But don’t confuse convenience with immunity.

The Real Developer Advantage

When you embrace subdomains, you unlock a new way of thinking about development:

You can spin up dozens of projects without financial friction.
You can organize environments (dev.yourdomain.com, staging.yourdomain.com, prod.yourdomain.com).
You can keep demos separate (client1.yourdomain.com, client2.yourdomain.com).
You can throw away failed projects without feeling like you wasted money.
It’s cheap. It’s flexible. And it keeps you in control.

Stop Buying Domains Like Candy

Here’s the final word:

TLDR;

Unless you’re launching a public product with branding and payments attached, stop buying a new domain for every idea.

One domain + subdomains = infinite flexibility.

You can’t call yourself a modern developer if you don’t understand this.

So go buy a cheap domain, fire up some subdomains, and start building like it’s 2025.

So, get out there. Code. Build. Create. Make greatness.

Let’s Talk About… Vibe Code

Seth Keddy — Sat, 06 Sep 2025 22:20:30 +0000

There’s a lot of noise around vibe coding right now. A lot of negative spin. A lot of misunderstanding. I want to clear it up and tell you why it matters—and why it’s not what most people think it is.

When people hear "vibe code," many imagine: “I can give AI a prompt and it will magically create the inner workings of an application that can support 30,000 users.” That’s completely false.

Yes, AI can help you generate websites, even complex ones. But most of these are static sites or prototypes. To build an application that actually works at an enterprise level, you need to understand the foundation: how to phrase the creation of your app, how to plan the execution order of your code, and how to anticipate potential errors before they happen.

Many beginners jump straight into coding and wonder why their project falls apart. That’s because they don’t understand the order of operations: the sequence of planning, coding, testing, and integrating features. Vibe coding is not magic—it’s a force multiplier for those who already know what they’re doing.

I’m not giving away my exact methodology—after 15 years of working in IT, building enterprise systems, teaching, and running projects from zero to production, I’ve developed a process that works. I didn’t wake up one day and just start using AI. It took decades of experience, job-hopping, taking on projects, and jumping into fires that most people would avoid.

Here’s the reality: I’ve done it all.

Rebuilt entire IT infrastructures
Implemented enterprise-level projects
Developed warehouse and backup software
Taught college-level cybersecurity and IT standards
Implemented HIPAA-compliant systems
Managed contract transitions, CD setups, and so so so more

All of that experience laid the foundation for vibe coding. When AI became a force multiplier, I didn’t need to learn the fundamentals—it was already built into my knowledge stack. Vibe coding allows me to accelerate development, but it doesn’t replace the core skills required to design, secure, and implement a feature.

Here’s the thing most people miss: vibe code is not a derogatory term—it’s a skill. The people criticizing it often don’t understand it, yet they’re probably using it themselves. Embracing vibe coding means combining your experience, your knowledge, and the power of AI to create something better, faster, and more secure than before.

The takeaway:

Don’t fear vibe coding.
Don’t let judgment stop you.
Use it as a force multiplier.
Keep learning, building, and applying your skills.

The future is vibe coding. Those who embrace it and understand its potential will thrive. Those who dismiss it will fall behind.

So, get out there. Code. Build. Create. Make greatness.
