LangGraph Patterns Explained: Workflows vs. Agents

This guide explains various patterns for structuring LLM-powered systems using LangGraph, differentiating between fixed-path workflows and flexible agents. It details when to use each pattern, emphasizing that LangGraph provides essential infrastructure for persistence, streaming, and debugging that would otherwise need to be custom-built. The article suggests that LangGraph is most beneficial for complex, multi-step applications rather than simple single-prompt experiments. AI

IMPACT Provides developers with structured patterns for building more complex LLM applications, improving agent and workflow design.
