Checkpoints

You can [compile][langgraph.graph.MessageGraph.compile] any LangGraph workflow with a [CheckPointer][basecheckpointsaver] to give your agent "memory" by persisting its state. This permits things like:

  • Remembering things across multiple interactions
  • Interrupting to wait for user input
  • Resilience for long-running, error-prone agents
  • Time travel retry and branch from a previous checkpoint

Key checkpointer interfaces and primitives are defined in langgraph_checkpoint library.

Checkpoint

::: langgraph.checkpoint.base.Checkpoint

CheckpointMetadata

::: langgraph.checkpoint.base.CheckpointMetadata

BaseCheckpointSaver

::: langgraph.checkpoint.base.BaseCheckpointSaver

Implementations

LangGraph also natively provides the following checkpoint implementations.

MemorySaver

::: langgraph.checkpoint.sqlite.aio.AsyncSqliteSaver

SqliteSaver

::: langgraph.checkpoint.sqlite.SqliteSaver

AsyncPostgresSaver

::: langgraph.checkpoint.postgres.aio.AsyncPostgresSaver

PostgresSaver

::: langgraph.checkpoint.postgres.PostgresSaver handler: python
