LangChain in Production: What Actually Works
The gap between demo and deploy is wider than you think.
When AI Prototypes Don't Scale
Demo to Production Gap
Your proof-of-concept worked great. Making it reliable for real users is another story.
RAG That Hallucinates
Your document Q&A makes up answers. Users can't trust the responses.
Prompt Spaghetti
Complex logic lives in giant prompts. Changing anything breaks something else.
Slow and Expensive
Every query costs money and takes forever. You can't afford to scale.
No Observability
When something fails, you don't know why. Debugging is guesswork.
Framework Churn
New versions break old code. You're always chasing updates.
What We Build
01
RAG Systems
Document Q&A that actually works.
●Vector database architecture (Pinecone, Weaviate, pgvector)
●Chunking and embedding strategies
●Hybrid search (semantic + keyword)
●Source citation and attribution
●Multi-document reasoning
●Continuous index updates
02
LangGraph Workflows
Complex, stateful AI applications.
●Multi-step reasoning chains
●Conditional branching and loops
●Human-in-the-loop checkpoints
●State persistence and recovery
●Parallel execution
●Error handling and retries
03
Production Hardening
Make prototypes production-ready.
●LangSmith integration and tracing
●Latency optimization
●Cost management and caching
●Rate limiting and queuing
●Fallback strategies
●A/B testing infrastructure
04
Custom Components
Beyond out-of-the-box functionality.
●Custom retrievers and document loaders
●Domain-specific prompts and chains
●Output parsers and validators
●Custom memory implementations
●Tool and function calling
●Integration adapters
Beyond Tutorial Code
| Prototype | Production |
|---|---|
| Works on happy path | Handles edge cases gracefully |
| No visibility into failures | Full observability and tracing |
| Expensive per query | Optimized for cost at scale |
| Breaks with updates | Version-locked and tested |
| RAG retrieves irrelevant results | Retrieval precision tuned |
Best For
Teams and organizations who have:
→AI prototype that needs production hardening
→Complex document collections to query
→Multi-step AI workflows to automate
→Need for observability and debugging
→Scale requirements beyond simple chat
→Team familiar with LangChain ecosystem
