LangChain Service

LangChain Service is an opinionated processing platform that allows you to develop and deploy langchain as a service with batteries included (Kong Authentication, Qdrant Vector Database, Postgresql Database, Swagger, etc.). This documentation will guide you through the installation process, as well as provide an overview of the available features and API reference.

Based on python-poetry-docker-example.

This project uses Poetry as a dependency manager. Check out Poetry's documentation on how to install it on your system before proceeding.

🚀 Quick Start

  1. create and activate a new Conda env conda create -n langchain-service python=3.11
  2. Install Poetry (see introduction) curl -sSL https://install.python-poetry.org | python3 -
  3. Tell Poetry to use the virtualenv python environment poetry config virtualenvs.prefer-active-python true poetry shell
  4. Install dependencies poetry install -E all

See the poetry docs for information on how to add/update dependencies.

Dev Environment

Start a development server locally:

poetry run uvicorn app.main:app --reload --host localhost --port 8000

API will be available at localhost:8000/

Bonus: API Specification

FastAPI comes with built-in API generated documentation. Available at

Docker

Build images with:

docker build -t langchain-service .

The Dockerfile uses multi-stage builds to run lint and test stages before building the production stage.

You can stop the build at specific stages with the --target option with the following values: development, lint, test, production, e.g.:

docker build -t langchain-service --target $STAGE .

If you do not specify a target the resulting image will be the last image defined which in our case is the 'production' image.

Run the 'production' image:

docker run -it -p 8000:8000 langchain-service

Open your browser and go to http://localhost:8000/redoc to see the API spec in ReDoc.

Docker Compose

This project offers a complete and convenient setup using Docker Compose, allowing you to run multiple services as part of the LangChain ecosystem. Docker Compose simplifies the process of managing and organizing the various services required for a fully functional environment. In this setup, the following services are included:

To build and run the containers for these services using Docker Compose, use the following command:

docker compose up

If you prefer to run the containers in detached mode, which means they will run in the background without displaying logs in the terminal, use the -d flag:

docker compose up -d
