​
Cloud SaaS

The Cloud SaaS deployment option is a fully managed model for deployment where we manage the control plane and data plane in our cloud. This option provides a simple way to deploy and manage your LangGraph Servers. Connect your GitHub repositories to the platform and deploy your LangGraph Servers from the control plane UI. The build process (i.e. CI/CD) is managed internally by the platform. For more information, please see:

​
Self-Hosted Data Plane

Important The Self-Hosted Data Plane deployment option requires an Enterprise plan.
The Self-Hosted Data Plane deployment option is a “hybrid” model for deployment where we manage the control plane in our cloud and you manage the data plane in your cloud. This option provides a way to securely manage your data plane infrastructure, while offloading control plane management to us. Build a Docker image using the LangGraph CLI and deploy your LangGraph Server from the control plane UI. Supported Compute Platforms: Kubernetes, Amazon ECS (coming soon!)

​
Self-Hosted Control Plane

Important The Self-Hosted Control Plane deployment option requires an Enterprise plan.
The Self-Hosted Control Plane deployment option is a fully self-hosted model for deployment where you manage the control plane and data plane in your cloud. This option gives you full control and responsibility of the control plane and data plane infrastructure. Build a Docker image using the LangGraph CLI and deploy your LangGraph Server from the control plane UI. Supported Compute Platforms: Kubernetes For more information, please see:

​
Standalone Container

You can:
  • Deploy standalone instances of a LangGraph Server in your cloud.
  • Build a Docker image using the LangGraph CLI and deploy your LangGraph Server using the container deployment tooling of your choice. Images can be deployed to any compute platform.
