How do we get more value from LangGraph?
Design state and checkpoints before the graph. Interrupt risky actions, then test resume and cancel paths before launch.
IncludesState, checkpoint, and interrupt checklist, plus the launch tests to agree
Compare LangSmith Deployment's LSU costs with a standalone Agent Server or your own service. Assign an owner for Postgres and scaling.
IncludesHosting option map and monthly cost worksheet
Pin LangGraph with its checkpointer packages. Plan upgrades within the 1.x LTS window and test old checkpoints against each state schema change.
IncludesPinning and upgrade test checklist
Use a graph when the workflow branches, waits for people, or must survive a crash. Otherwise choose LangGraph's Functional API or a loop in your own code.
IncludesDecision checklist for framework choice
