Authorised Territory demonstrates how workflows in the .NET Microsoft Agent Framework can be paused and resumed using checkpoints, with checkpoint state stored on disk as JSON via a CheckpointManager.

Full summary based on transcript

What the tutorial covers

• How to make a workflow resumable by saving progress into checkpoints.
• How checkpoints are persisted to disk as JSON files.
• Using a CheckpointManager to manage storing and loading checkpoint data.

Checkpoint storage approach

• Checkpoints are written to the local filesystem.
• The checkpoint payload is serialized as JSON.
• The CheckpointManager is responsible for:
  • Creating checkpoint files
  • Updating checkpoint files as the workflow progresses
  • Loading checkpoint files to resume execution
