LangChain / LangGraph

Orchestration framework for agents and RAG pipelines

LangChain and its LangGraph agent-orchestration and LangSmith observability tools became a default developer scaffolding for building agentic and RAG applications. It sits between models and applications, shaping how enterprises wire tools, memory, and control flow. Its rise reflects that value is migrating to the orchestration layer above raw models.
