Key points

  • The authors combined 5 OpenAlex searches with 189 records from an earlier exploratory search, screening 4,611 records in total.
  • The review includes 1,794 primary studies from 2017–2026 and 95 secondary studies.
  • In the 13-category taxonomy, each study was graded as simulation, prototype or testbed, production data, production deployment, or not determinable from the abstract.
  • Of 1,003 studies with a determinable level, 66.2% used prototypes or testbeds, 18.0% simulations and 15.8% production data or deployments.
  • A 93-study synthesis core shows production deployments of cascading-failure prevention, trace- and graph-based root-cause analysis and predictive autoscaling, and production-trace evaluations of cold-start mitigation.
  • Empirical studies in the synthesis show that agent frameworks remain fragile.
