Bridging the Last Mile in LangChain Application Development

The analysis above shows that despite the powerful services offered by large cloud service providers like AWS, there's still a significant learning curve for developers to effectively utilize these services. This might explain the emergence of AI Infra products like LangSmith, Modal, and LaptonAI, which aim to be one-stop service providers for AI applications. We, on the other hand, take a different approach by directly deducing the infrastructure requirements from the application code and automatically creating corresponding service instances on cloud platforms, thus assisting developers with deployment issues. Our hope is to enable developers to focus on writing business logic, allowing even those unfamiliar with AWS to deploy applications to the cloud without getting bogged down in the tedious configuration of infrastructure.

LangChain

Undoubtedly, LangChain is the most popular framework for AI application development at the moment. The advent of LangChain has greatly simplified the construction of AI applications based on Large Language Models (LLM). If we compare an AI application to a person, the LLM would be the "brain," while LangChain acts as the "limbs" by providing various tools and abstractions. Combined, they enable the creation of AI applications capable of "thinking." However, this article does not delve into the specific usage of LangChain but aims to discuss with readers the last-mile issue in LangChain application development—how to deploy LangChain applications, using AWS as an example. Why deploy on AWS? The free tier is simply too appealing for daily use.
