# LangSmith Deployment

> Deploy and manage agents with durable execution, real-time streaming, and horizontal scaling.

LangSmith Deployment is a workflow orchestration runtime purpose-built for agent workloads. It provides the managed infrastructure agents need to run reliably in production at scale, supporting the full lifecycle from local development to deployment.

## Deployable products

LangSmith Deployment is framework-agnostic which means you can deploy agents built with:

  <Card title="Deep Agents" cta="Open quickstart" href="/oss/python/deepagents/deploy" icon="robot">
    Use the Deep Agents CLI to deploy a deep agent to LangSmith Cloud (AWS and GCP).
  </Card>

  <Card title="LangGraph (and LangChain)" cta="Open quickstart" href="/langsmith/deployment-quickstart" icon="chart-dots-3">
    Use the LangGraph CLI and app templates to deploy a LangGraph application to LangSmith.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Other frameworks" cta="View guide" href="/langsmith/deploy-other-frameworks" icon="packages">
    Use the LangGraph Functional API to deploy Strands, CrewAI, and other agent frameworks.
  </Card>
</CardGroup>

## Deployment environments

You can run the same [Agent Server](/langsmith/agent-server) runtime in several hosting models. A **standalone server** is the lightest option: you run containers yourself without the LangSmith [control plane](/langsmith/control-plane). For managed deployments through the UI and APIs, use **Cloud** or **Self-hosted** (full platform in your infrastructure).

<CardGroup cols={2}>
  <Card title="Cloud" cta="View guide" href="/langsmith/deploy-to-cloud" icon="cloud">
    Fully managed by LangChain, running on AWS and GCP. Create deployments from GitHub in the LangSmith UI or with [`langgraph deploy`](/langsmith/cli#deploy). Requires a [Plus plan or above](https://www.langchain.com/pricing).
  </Card>

  <Card title="Standalone server" cta="View guide" href="/langsmith/deploy-standalone-server" icon="server">
    Deploy Agent Server with Docker, Compose, or Kubernetes. Bring your own PostgreSQL, Redis, and LangSmith license; no control plane. Optional [LangSmith tracing](/langsmith/observability) to Cloud or a self-hosted instance.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Self-hosted" cta="View guide" href="/langsmith/self-hosted" icon="buildings">
    Run the full LangSmith platform, including the control plane and data plane, in your cloud (for example on Kubernetes). Requires [Enterprise plan](https://www.langchain.com/pricing). Integrates observability, evaluation, and agent deployment in one private stack.
  </Card>

Same runtime, same APIs. What changes is who manages the infrastructure.
For a feature-level comparison and infrastructure setup, see [Platform setup](/langsmith/platform-setup).

## Deployment capabilities

Once an agent is deployed, you work with [Agent Server](/langsmith/assistants)’s execution model: **assistants** for configuration, **threads** for state, and **runs** for workloads.

<CardGroup cols={2}>
  <Card title="Core capabilities" cta="Start building" href="/langsmith/streaming" icon="bolt">
    Stream to users, pause for human review, handle concurrent input, and connect via MCP and A2A.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Studio" cta="Develop with Studio" href="/langsmith/studio" icon="window">
    Use an interactive environment for developing and debugging agents.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Advanced configuration" cta="Configure your server" href="/langsmith/auth" icon="lock">
    Authentication, encryption, custom routes, and short- and long-term memory stores.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Agent composition" cta="Connect agents" href="/langsmith/use-remote-graph" icon="book">
    RemoteGraph lets any agent call other deployed agents with MCP and A2A.
  </Card>
