### 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). 1. Hide old content for deprecated deployment options (BYOC). 1. Create a pair of "conceptual" and "how-to" pages for each deployment option. As much as possible, the pages should have consistent headings. 1. 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. 1. 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. 1. 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. 1. Document required RBAC permissions for K8s for Self-Hosted Data Plane and Self-Hosted Control Plane (and update links). 1. Figure out how to consolidate plan information. 1. Figure out where to document licensing, telemetry, custom Postgres/Redis. 1. Update autoscaling content.
Setup
To setup requirements for building docs you can run:
poetry install --with test
Serving documentation locally
To run the documentation server locally you can run:
make serve-docs
This will start the documentation server on http://127.0.0.1:8000/langgraph/.
Execute notebooks
If you would like to automatically execute all of the notebooks, to mimic the "Run notebooks" GHA, you can run:
python _scripts/prepare_notebooks_for_ci.py
./_scripts/execute_notebooks.sh
Note: if you want to run the notebooks without %pip install cells, you can run:
python _scripts/prepare_notebooks_for_ci.py --comment-install-cells
./_scripts/execute_notebooks.sh
prepare_notebooks_for_ci.py script will add VCR cassette context manager for each cell in the notebook, so that:
- when the notebook is run for the first time, cells with network requests will be recorded to a VCR cassette file
- when the notebook is run subsequently, the cells with network requests will be replayed from the cassettes
Adding new notebooks
If you are adding a notebook with API requests, it's recommended to record network requests so that they can be subsequently replayed. If this is not done, the notebook runner will make API requests every time the notebook is run, which can be costly and slow.
To record network requests, please make sure to first run prepare_notebooks_for_ci.py script.
Then, run
jupyter execute <path_to_notebook>
Once the notebook is executed, you should see the new VCR cassettes recorded in cassettes directory and discard the updated notebook.
Updating existing notebooks
If you are updating an existing notebook, please make sure to remove any existing cassettes for the notebook in cassettes directory (each cassette is prefixed with the notebook name), and then run the steps from the "Adding new notebooks" section above.
To delete cassettes for a notebook, you can run:
rm cassettes/<notebook_name>*
