Why DataStax is investing projects in langflow to get you to production if its not made to use in production?

[@FuturMinds]

'Production' word is subjective. It's not ideal for someone who is building complex applications and needs more control and customization (atleast today). It may be ideal for someone who is building saas/simple application or doing POC. There are good number of customers in the later category and that's what DataStax is currently targeting.

Very good response. Langflow is good for quick prototypes. It can also do complex ones but then the flowcharts will be too many and confusing and it to be easier to just code. The best tool in the family in my opinion is langgraph. It's easy to learn and create complex agentic workflows.

Can I replace langsmith with logging and analytics?

[@FuturMinds]

@wesleymogaka yes you can use logging and analytics instead of langsmith. But you will need to manage all the logic to make sense of the logging data. Langsmith makes the life easier by abstracting all those implementation details. You may want to explore the open source alternatives of langsmith.

Frankly Langchain is good for quick poc anything serious production ready the framework isn’t matured and has lots of overhead. Best to stick to well written lean custom codes for production. Underneath all one is doing is calling API services 🤣

Very correct!
