## 7. Next Steps

- **Explore More Binding Types**: Experiment with other Dapr binding components relevant to your agent\'s needs (e.g., RabbitMQ, Azure Event Hubs, MQTT, Email, other database bindings).
- **Combine with Actors**: Integrate bindings with Dapr Actors. For example, an input binding could trigger a method on a specific actor instance.
- **Resiliency**: Investigate how Dapr resiliency policies can be applied in conjunction with bindings, especially for output bindings making calls to potentially unreliable external services.
- **Advanced Data Transformation**: For complex data transformations between your agent and an external system via a binding, consider if any Dapr middleware or a separate transformation step is needed.
- **End-to-End Tracing**: Explore how Dapr\'s distributed tracing works with bindings to understand the flow of requests/events through your system.
