Deployment
LangGraph Cloud, Docker, and production deployment.
Cloud Provider Deployment
Deploying LangGraph agents to AWS, GCP, or Azure involves packaging the agent as a Docker container and running it on a managed container service – with each provider offering trade-offs in complexity, cost, and scaling behavior.
Containerization
Docker packages your LangGraph agent, its dependencies, and runtime into a portable container that runs identically everywhere – from your laptop to production servers.
FastAPI Deployment
Wrapping a LangGraph agent in FastAPI gives you a production-ready API with sync and streaming endpoints, full control over auth, rate limiting, and zero vendor lock-in.
LangGraph Dev Server
The langgraph dev command launches a built-in development server with an API, visual Studio UI, and auto-generated docs – the fastest way to test and debug agents locally.
LangGraph Platform
LangGraph Platform (deployed via LangSmith) is a managed hosting service purpose-built for stateful, long-running agents – handling infrastructure, scaling, persistence, and operational concerns so you can deploy directly from a GitHub repository.
LangGraph SDK
The langgraph-sdk package provides Python and JavaScript clients for interacting with any LangGraph server – managing threads, streaming runs, inspecting state, and controlling agent execution through a unified API.
