Original Pull Request: https://github.com/langchain-ai/langgraph/pull/4118

State: closed
Merged: Yes


Summary

This is a large refactor of the content for the LangGraph Platform deployment options. Although there are a lot of changes, I do feel fairly confident that this is safe to merge and won't have any negative impact related to confusion around deployment options. However, please review thoroughly (i.e. run the docs locally).

Goals and Non-Goals

Just wanted to explicitly state goals and non-goals so that we're clear about what needs to be done now versus what can be done in a smaller follow-up PR.

Goals

  1. Add new content for the new deployment options (Self-Hosted Data Plane, Self-Hosted Control Plane).
  2. Hide old content for deprecated deployment options (BYOC).
  3. Create a pair of "conceptual" and "how-to" pages for each deployment option. As much as possible, the pages should have consistent headings.
  4. Introduce the terms "control plane" and "data plane" and define them plainly without hiding/abstracting information.

Non-Goals

  1. Do not change the navigation of the existing deployment options. As much as possible, update content in-place or add new pages. Changing the navigation is a bigger task that can be done later.
  2. Do not remove old content for deprecated deployment options. We may need to refer to this later. There are only ~2 pages (I think).

Next Steps

  1. Update the architecture diagrams for each deployment option. Commit Excalidraw file to source control.
  2. Create a "how-to" page for the Control Plane UI. This page pertains to 3/4 deployment options. Most of the content lives in the "how-to" page for Cloud SaaS deployment.
  3. Document required RBAC permissions for K8s for Self-Hosted Data Plane and Self-Hosted Control Plane (and update links).
  4. Figure out how to consolidate plan information.
  5. Figure out where to document licensing, telemetry, custom Postgres/Redis.
  6. Update autoscaling content.
  7. Add "alpha" label to deployment options.
  8. Document benchmarks.
