TECHNOLOGY PROFILE · TECH-0137
LangGraph
Stateful graph-based agent orchestration.
Core capability checked in primary documentation. This profile preserves the prepared catalog’s original descriptions. Advantages depend on the workload; comparisons are editorial, not benchmark results.
Where it has an edge
Explicit state, checkpoints and interrupt/resume behavior improve control over a simple unbounded agent loop.
Best-fit problems
Long-running tool workflows with human approval and recoverability.
Tradeoffs & cautions
A graph does not make tools safe; state design and authorization remain application work.
What to test before choosing
Test interrupted/resumed runs, tool authorization, retrieval quality, cost caps and failure recovery.
Runtime & hardware
Usually application server
Access & licensing
Open-source cores; hosted additions may cost
Execution
Local / self-hosted
Lifecycle
Not independently audited
Comparison basis
Editorial problem-fit judgement; no head-to-head benchmark performed
