Building with LangGraph
LangGraph is strongest at explicit control flow and resumable state, which is what complex agents actually need. We reach for it when that is the property a workload actually depends on, and we say so when it is not.
The reason to reach for a graph framework is resumability. A long-running agent that crashes at step seven should restart at step seven, not at step one, and building that state handling yourself is more work than it first appears.
The cost is conceptual overhead. For a single model call with one tool, a graph is ceremony. We use it where a workflow genuinely branches, loops or pauses for human approval, and plain code everywhere else.
We build the smallest thing that proves the case, put it in front of real users, and expand only what earns its keep. You own the code, the models where they are open-weight, and the documentation to run it without us.
What we build on LangGraph
Questions
What is LangGraph best at?
Explicit control flow and resumable state, which is what complex agents actually need.
When would you not use LangGraph?
Meaningful overhead for simple single-step tasks that need no orchestration at all. We would look at Vercel AI SDK or Model Context Protocol in that situation.
Do you have a commercial relationship with LangGraph?
No. We hold no reseller commission on any technology we recommend, which is what lets the trade-off above be stated plainly.
Can you work with our existing LangGraph setup?
Yes. We would rather extend and stabilise something that already works than introduce a parallel system your team has to learn.
Working with LangGraph?
Tell us the workload and we will tell you whether this is the right tool for it.
