LangGraph vs CrewAI: A Production Perspective
Engineering Team
•
Choosing between LangGraph and CrewAI isn't about which is "better" – it's about matching the framework to your production requirements and team capabilities.
LangGraph: Control and Complexity
LangGraph excels when you need explicit control over agent flow. The graph-based approach makes complex workflows visible and debuggable. However, this comes at the cost of more boilerplate and steeper learning curve.
CrewAI: Speed and Simplicity
CrewAI gets you to production faster with its task delegation model. The abstraction is powerful for common patterns, but can feel limiting when you need fine-grained control over agent interactions.
Our Recommendation
Start with CrewAI for rapid prototyping. Once your agent patterns are validated, consider LangGraph if you need production-grade observability and deterministic workflows. Or use our platform to abstract these choices entirely.
