Applied AI / TypeScript agents
Build AI agents inside a TypeScript operating model.
Mastra workflows, tools, memory and observability connected to the systems your team already maintains.
We use Mastra when a TypeScript-native agent and workflow layer reduces integration friction without weakening state, permission or review boundaries.

The operating problem
A convenient agent framework can accelerate a prototype while leaving ownership, data access and failure behaviour undefined. The framework must fit the operating system, not become it.
System mechanism
A production Mastra workflow
Mastra coordinates models, memory, tools and workflow steps inside a TypeScript service with explicit suspension and review points.
A typed Mastra workflow starts from a business event, runs knowledge and system steps in parallel, validates their combined result, suspends for human review when needed and resumes to a measurable outcome.
- 01Business inputBusiness event
An API event, schedule or approved user request starts the workflow.
- 02Mastra workflowTyped workflow input
A schema defines the data, owner and required output for this run.
- 03Retrieval engineParallel knowledge step
Approved evidence is retrieved and ranked for the task.
- 04Typed toolsParallel system step
Typed tools collect the operational state needed from existing APIs.
- 05Decision pointCombined business validation
Deterministic checks reconcile evidence, system data and required rules.
- 06SuspendSuspend for review
Missing data or consequence pauses the run with inspectable context.
- 07ResumeResume with decision
The workflow continues from saved state after an accountable decision.
- 08Business valueReliable workflow result
The result reaches the business with evidence, status and measurable ownership.
Fatbunny responsibility
Fatbunny decides whether Mastra fits, then owns workflow boundaries, TypeScript integration, tool schemas, memory policy, suspension states, observability and deployment.

Honest limits
- !
Mastra is not automatically preferable to direct SDK calls or another orchestration framework.
- !
Framework memory still requires retention, access and deletion rules.
- !
Observability must connect traces to business outcomes.
Why a TypeScript-native agent layer can help
Teams already operating TypeScript services can share types, schemas, deployment patterns and engineering ownership with the AI workflow instead of creating a separate platform boundary.
Workflows make the useful behaviour explicit
The model should handle interpretation and generation where those abilities help. The workflow should handle known sequence, validation, permissions, suspension and retry behaviour.
Choose the framework after the system boundary
Fatbunny does not prescribe Mastra for every AI project. We use it when its workflow and TypeScript model reduce delivery complexity for the particular team and operating environment.
Direct answers
Common questions
What is Mastra used for?
Mastra is a TypeScript framework for agents, workflows, tools, memory, retrieval, evaluation and observability.
Is Mastra better than LangGraph?
Neither is universally better. The decision depends on language ownership, workflow needs, deployment environment and the team's operating model.
Can Mastra connect to our existing TypeScript APIs?
Yes. Existing services can become typed tools when their permissions and failure behaviour are suitable.
