In this thread: a lot of people complaining about Langchain’s architecture or use in production. I’m using it in an alpha quality production app and it is fine. What exactly is knee-capping the complainers so badly?
I won’t defend a lot of the tech choices that have been made, but the “free” tooling (LangSmith), integrations, and modicum of cross-model compatibility are worth it to me.
- minimaxir 3y agoThe other comments have sufficient justification (confusing documentation, technical debt, easier to just roll-your-own) for their dislike of LangChain. This has been the case for nearly every HN thread about LangChain. It is not a vast anti-LangChain conspiracy. I personally used it in an alpha-quality production app too and it was fine at first, but I found out after a month of hacking, it didn't work for the business needs for the reasons stated above. Said free tooling just increases lock-in which is not ideal for any complex software project.
