Google Cloud Tech: Graph Engineering with ADK

Build a production-ready, multi-agent AI system from scratch using Graph Engineering and Google's Agent Development Kit (ADK). In this hands-on tutorial, we walk through a marathon race demo to demonstrate why large monolithic prompts hallucinate and how graph architecture fixes them. Master core graph design patterns—including fan-out for parallel execution, join nodes for deterministic data aggregation, and deterministic vs. LLM routers—all while optimizing architecture to run an entire multi-branch workflow on just a single LLM call.

Tell us about your experiences creating your own workflows in the comments below!
