LangGraph and Agent Patterns: A Practical Primer

  • Understanding graphs versus linear chains: when and why to use them
  • Agents, tools, and planner-executor loops
  • Constructing a minimal agentic graph: 'Hello workflow'

State, Memory, and Context Passing

  • Designing graph state structures and node interfaces
  • Differentiating between short-term memory and persisted memory
  • Managing context windows, summarization, and rehydration

Branching Logic and Control Flow

  • Conditional routing and multi-path decision-making
  • Implementing retries, timeouts, and circuit breakers
  • Handling fallbacks, dead-ends, and recovery nodes

Tool Use and External Integrations

  • Accessing REST APIs and databases via the graph
  • Performing structured output parsing and validation

Retrieval-Augmented Agent Workflows

  • Strategies for document ingestion and chunking
  • Utilizing embeddings and vector stores with ChromaDB
  • Ensuring grounded responses with citations and safeguards

Evaluation, Debugging, and Observability

  • Tracing execution paths and inspecting node interactions
  • Developing golden sets, evaluations, and regression tests
  • Monitoring quality, safety, cost, and latency

Packaging and Delivery

  • Serving via FastAPI and managing dependencies
  • Versioning graphs and implementing rollback strategies
  • Creating operational playbooks and incident response plans
