How does it compare to claude agents sdk? How do I make a selection between: * openai agents sdk * claude agents sdk * and mastra

Those are both good options. You should try us all out and see which one you like best!

in terms of agent harness, how would you describe the differences?

Happy you guys are moving forward. Just to make the comment section a bit more balanced wanted to give my xp. Mastra is by design batteries included and opinionated when you don't fit into an existing pattern it is difficult to keep being productive. In our system several times we have needed to go out and create our own hono routes. We are currently have someone rebuilding everything with langgraph/langchain and will then write a detailed comparison.

For sure lots of good ideas in mastra, and happy that its JS TS first, I think you'll will continue to grow becuase of the TS first approach

Congrats on the 1.0 launch! The workflow and agent composition primitives look well-designed.

Curious about the observability story - when agents make tool calls, how do you debug what actually got sent to external APIs? We've found that's often the hardest part of agent development - the "it works locally but fails in production" debugging loop.

Great to see more production-ready agent frameworks emerging. Will be following the project!

Hi. I'm on the Mastra team, and I've built out the observability stack. We support outputting traces to numerous 3rd party tools, and also our own system.

More info can be found here: https://mastra.ai/docs/observability/tracing/overview#export...

In the coming months we will add improvements to logging, overall metric collection, experimentation tracing, and numerous additional observability features.

Thanks for your interest.

Within that repo is a concise, high signal book by Sam Bhagwat "Principles of Building AI Agents" https://github.com/mastra-ai/mastra/blob/main/book/principle...

Yes a book is exactly what makes sense in this very immature and fast changing space.

It's especially effective when you litter it around ai company offices in SF
