Exactly, I use ADK (https://google.github.io/adk-docs/runtime/) and it handles all that bookkeeping for me. If my client disconnects, the engine continues to run until the turn is up, recording all events.

We need more frameworks like ADK that handle the bookkeeping and give us great abstractions for building agentic systems.

If you don't have a proper grasp of what is the transport, what the is the protocol and what is your application protocol, I think chucking in libraries to try to help often makes things too complicated. You still would need to understand the differences and nuances.

yup, I have recently started saying "building blocks over batteries included"

particularly as it comes to people trying to sell me on their Agent "framework", which amounts to little more than some well built tools and prompts, but pigeon holes me into how they think about solving certain issues in the agentic space, based on how things work today. If I go out 2 years, do I have to wait for the "framework" to realize their ideas are now out-of-touch and wait for them to course correct, or have I selected a framework that allows me to easily experiment, evaluate, and adjust any technique, with an ecosystem of building blocks for both the provider and user side of what I am building
