LangChain and LangGraph development

Agent orchestration where control flow is explicit, inspectable and resumable — not an agent improvising its own loop.

Our position

LangChain is the integration layer: model providers, retrieval, tools and document handling behind one set of interfaces, so swapping a model or a vector store is a configuration change rather than a rewrite. LangGraph is the part that matters in production, because it makes control flow explicit.

The difference is operational. A free-running agent loop is hard to debug and impossible to resume — when it fails halfway through a twelve-step workflow you restart from the beginning and pay for it again. A LangGraph state machine checkpoints, so a run can be inspected, resumed after a restart, paused for human approval and replayed step by step when someone asks what it did.

Questions

LangChain & LangGraph, specifically.

Is a framework necessary at all?

Often not, and we say so. A single-step call needs nothing but the provider SDK. Frameworks pay off once you have tool calling, multi-step control flow, retries and evaluation to manage — at which point you would otherwise build a worse version of the same thing yourself.

How do you debug an agent that behaves oddly?

Tracing every step, tool call and token, plus deterministic replay of a recorded run. That is precisely why we favour explicit state graphs: you can point at the step that went wrong instead of re-reading a prompt and guessing.

Which models do you run behind it?

Usually Claude for reasoning-heavy steps, with smaller or open models routed onto high-volume simple paths for cost. The abstraction is the point — model choice stays a decision you can revisit against your evaluation set rather than a rewrite.
