LangChain is the most popular framework for building LLM applications with chains, agents, memory, and retrieval. LangSmith adds observability. Controversial for its abstraction complexity.

Inngest's AI capabilities provide durable orchestration for AI agents with step-based execution, automatic retries, and state management for long-running agent workflows.
Reviewer scorecard
“Over-abstracted and changes too fast. For anything beyond demos, calling APIs directly with a thin wrapper is more maintainable.”
“Durable execution for AI agents means workflows survive crashes and timeouts. Essential for production agent systems.”
“The framework that made simple API calls into 500-line abstractions. LangGraph is better but the damage is done.”
“AI agents need durability guarantees. Inngest's step functions handle the failure modes that kill naive agent implementations.”
“Despite the criticism, LangChain's ecosystem (LangSmith, LangGraph, templates) is the most complete platform for LLM apps.”
“Production AI agents require infrastructure that handles failures gracefully. Inngest is building exactly that.”
