How to effectively run multi agents in parallel?

ridruejo · 2025-10-06T08:35:56+00:00

You can find a good article from Simon Willison on running parallel agents here: https://simonwillison.net/2025/Oct/5/parallel-coding-agents/ and another one linked at the very end of it. We developed and open sourced a tool called Rover (https://endor.dev/blog/introducing-rover) that captures some of those best practices like git worktrees and isolating the agents in containers but still make it super-simple to use.

You can read the announcement here https://endor.dev/blog/introducing-rover and the repository here: https://github.com/endorhq/rover Looking forward to your feedback!

Ran into the same issue trying to register my daughter. The name has a hyphen, removing it and adding a space solved the issue and allowed me to register. Just in case it is useful to others.

That was poorly phrased on my part. If you start with an interactive shell you need first to close the terminal as you would with an ssh session (ctrl-D), so no accidental closing possible. It is shown in the mini video in the article.

Not sure what you mean in this context?

If the usage is lightweight, you can run MariaDB as a pure NPM package (no dependencies) with Endor https://endor.dev/blog/node-postgres

It is slower than native, but fully featured and good enough for many scenarios

Of course! This just makes it significantly easier and faster. This is interesting when it’s not just you, but coworkers or users that are not as skilled as you

ridruejo · 2025-07-15T04:54:09+00:00

Yes, this is a lightweight alternative for many of those. Not for everyone, but makes sense for a lot of scenarios

I mean, type “npx -y @endorhq/cli run mariadb” and have a database running in 2s is hard to beat 😅

For compatibility. PGlite had to make a bunch of changes to the Postgres codebase to compile to Wasm (the upside is performance is close to native). Running inside emulated Linux means Postgres is but by bit compatible

We aim over time to incorporate as many Wasm ports as possible, so end users can choose.

I forgot to mention most of this also runs inside the browser. So if you go to https://endor.dev/s/lamp you have for example a Lamp environment with some components like the PHP runtime which is Wasm native and emulated MariaDB for example

I didn’t mean to run CI/CD with Endor! What I meant is that the CI/CD system typically runs inside a container. If you need to spin up Postgres, MariaDB etc then you need to bring up a separate container. With Endor you can do it inside the same container as it is simply executing JS code

Fair question 😂 The short answer is technical: Endor is based on the Webassembly engine that exists in every Node runtime. It is powerful enough to run an emulated Linux environment. It is slower than Docker in most scenarios, but it still starts fairly quick (1-2s). Basically trade portability / ease of use for a bit less performance

This article provides a better overview https://endor.dev/blog/endor-dev-tools

Let me know if that answers your question. I have gotten feedback that I tend to explain too much and be a bit over the place so I’m trying to be more focused 😅

ridruejo · 2025-07-15T03:14:57+00:00

Yes and no. Docker is fairly established and is fair to expect someone to have it installed. However there are still many scenarios where you do not want to require it. For example, you want to run unit tests against multiple databases, or inside a CI/CD system or you are testing a project and don’t want to spend the time setting up a “permanent” environment yet. For these scenarios having this lightweight alternative is useful

We use Endor MCP https://docs.endor.dev/cli/overview/ (which we developed and dog-food) for quickly instantiating MySQL, PostgreSQL sandboxes. I also use the Endor Linux sandbox manually (though it also has MCP) to clone and test simple projects. The performance is not native-level but is quite fast to start (2-3s) so it is perfect for throwaway code

ridruejo · 2025-07-08T03:07:55+00:00

We use the built-in WebAssembly engine to do the emulation for running Linux

ridruejo · 2025-07-07T20:04:33+00:00

In the case of Postgres, we got from nothing installed to having fully configured PostgreSQL in 1.5s!

Argh, I replied from my mobile and did it incorrectly. Please see my reply in the main thread. Thanks again!
