Why do I need LangGraph Platform for agent deployment?

Deploying AI agents can be difficult, particularly for applications that are long-running, stateful, or experience inconsistent, bursty traffic. The LangGraph Platform is a deployment solution built to solve these specific infrastructure challenges. It handles long-running tasks with background processing and robust error recovery, while managing bursty request loads through a scalable task queue. For stateful agents, the platform provides optimized checkpointers, memory stores, and specialized endpoints to support complex interactions like human-in-the-loop workflows.
