The Central Nervous System: Scaling the Agentic Radar to 24/7 with FastAPI and Webhooks

Short summary

This technical architecture guide demonstrates how to scale AI-driven component obsolescence detection 24/7 using FastAPI webhooks and CrewAI agents. The system normalizes both API-based and email-based supply chain alerts into standardized events, then processes them asynchronously with LLM inference while returning immediate HTTP responses. The pattern solves production challenges: timeout prevention through background tasks, dual alert ingestion vectors, and downstream procurement notifications.

• •Event-driven architecture for continuous PDN ingestion from API and email vectors
• •FastAPI background tasks decouple webhook responses from LLM inference, preventing timeout failures
• •Normalized alert processing with CrewAI agents calculates P&L impact and routes mitigation briefs to procurement teams
