Decision

What the current evidence supports

Human editorial judgment · 2026-08-20

Proceed with caution

Why
GA is real, named enterprises (Moody's, Dun & Bradstreet) run ADK in production, and activity is high — but the breaking surface, beta language paths, and Google-Cloud lock-in on the managed path make it unsafe to standardize on yet.
Next
Prototype a single non-critical graph workflow on a pinned 2.x version; validate Workflow-Runtime event/state behavior and migration cost (storage incompat, event model) before any ecosystem adoption.
