Agentic Framework Showdown

PicoFlow vs. LangGraph

Home
Features 🚀 PicoFlow 📊 LangGraph
Microservice Architecture Out-of-box micro-service ready, self-hosting endpoints access Subscription LangChain Cloud, or need substantial wiring in self-hosting
Complex ChatBot friendly Implemented a unqiue agent pattern especially made for BotChat Need to use clumsy Interrupt mechanism
Session Management Native Session support Left to developer
Memory Persistence Fine grained memory isolation/congregation integrated with session Provide memory persistence, but left to developer to tie to session
State Management Each step contains its states The states are global to the graph
Modularity Super modular using flow/steps constructs Mixin graph/node functions lead to spaghetti code
Step Configuration Each step can own or share its prompt/tool/handler/history/model/model-parameters Hard to customize at individual node level
Memory Sharing Declarative style shared memory or isolated memory for steps Coding style
Transition Management Step/Memory transition management None, left to developers
Replay conversation/context window Can replay/debug a production conversation Left to developer, not much of this concenpt mentioned
Observability Observability built-in using session documents Rely on subscription base Langsmith
Transition Graph No edge needed, transition in code, much cleaner, flexbble and resilent to changes Need edges and code to transition
