When migrating six synchronous analyzers from a browser extension to cloud MCP agents, the coordination challenges multiply fast. This episode explores the architectural tensions that emerge when Durable Objects must manage both state and orchestration across independent agent workflows. Discover why ScriptDO and AudioGenDO's dual responsibilities create complexity, how WebSocket real-time feedback complicates async agent coordination, and why designing graceful degradation upfront is critical when users depend on live progress feedback. Learn the key questions to answer before migrating: Should existing Durable Objects become orchestrators of orchestrators, or do you need a new coordination layer? What happens when six agents can fail independently? A deep dive into the state machine design work that must precede any migration code.

In this episode:
00:00 - Durable Objects doing double duty: State containers as orchestration layers
00:14 - The coordination problem: Six cloud agents plus existing state management
00:47 - Architectural mismatch: Why Durable Objects aren't workflow engines
01:14 - Real-time feedback makes async coordination harder, not easier
01:45 - Design graceful degradation before migration, not after
