[Feature Request] Example with LangGraph #146

Open nitin302 opened 2 weeks ago

nitin302 commented 2 weeks ago

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

How can we use temporal with LangGraph workflows - https://github.com/langchain-ai/langgraph? Could you give a example?

Describe the solution you'd like

LangGraph is typically used in agentic workflows and using temporal would give us the ability to scale execution.

Additional context

None

Temporal does not really care what technology you use inside the activities, but the scaling/distribution of workflows/activities is controlled by Temporal server. https://github.com/temporalio/samples-python/tree/main/langchain sample shows using LangChain in activities and you can do the same for invoking a LangGraph workflow inside an activity. But despite using the same term "workflow", Temporal workflows and LangGraph workflows are unrelated.

nitin302 commented 2 weeks ago

Yes, I understand that, but an example would be helpful.

cretz commented 2 weeks ago

Can you use the LangChain sample, but call LangGraph instead of a LangChain in the activity? (same for any third party library, not specific to LangChain/LangGraph)

nitin302 commented 2 weeks ago

Yes, but i am looking for how we can make LangGraph nodes/edges become workflows/activities to make it easier to understand... It would help folks building AI agents use temporal for scaling.

cretz commented 2 weeks ago

I don't think LangGraph nodes/edges become workflows/activities. I think you interact with the LangGraph library via an activity like interacting with any other library occurs via activity. LangGraph primitives don't integrate in a special way with Temporal ones from what I can see at a quick glance. If there are specific suggestions to how integration could/should occur, that may help.
