Course Outline

Introduction to LangGraph and Graph Concepts

  • The rationale for using graphs in LLM apps: orchestration compared to simple chains
  • Understanding nodes, edges, and state in LangGraph
  • Hello LangGraph: creating the first runnable graph

State Management and Prompt Chaining

  • Designing prompts as graph nodes
  • Transmitting state between nodes and managing outputs
  • Memory patterns: distinguishing between short-term and persisted context

Branching, Control Flow, and Error Handling

  • Conditional routing and multi-path workflow structures
  • Implementing retries, timeouts, and fallback strategies
  • Ensuring idempotency and safe re-execution

Tools and External Integrations

  • Function and tool calling from graph nodes
  • Invoking REST APIs and services within the graph
  • Handling structured outputs

Retrieval-Augmented Workflows

  • Basics of document ingestion and chunking
  • Understanding embeddings and vector stores (e.g., ChromaDB)
  • Generating grounded answers with citations

Testing, Debugging, and Evaluation

  • Conducting unit-style tests for nodes and paths
  • Utilizing tracing and observability tools
  • Performing quality checks for factuality, safety, and determinism

Packaging and Deployment Fundamentals

  • Environment setup and dependency management
  • Exposing graphs via APIs
  • Managing workflow versioning and rolling updates

Summary and Next Steps

Requirements

  • A foundational understanding of Python programming
