## Decision facts: langflow

- **Adopt for:** Langflow specializes in creating and deploying AI agents and complex workflows through a versatile GUI-based approach.

## Choose when

### Choose mlops-zoomcamp if…

- mlops-zoomcamp is primarily Jupyter Notebook; langflow is Python.
- Tags unique to mlops-zoomcamp: jupyter-notebook, machine-learning, mlops, model-deployment.
- Also covers Evaluation & Observability.

### Choose langflow if…

- langflow is primarily Python; mlops-zoomcamp is Jupyter Notebook.
- Tags unique to langflow: agents, chatgpt, generative-ai, large-language-models.
- - When you need an intuitive graphical interface to manage the creation of AI agents and workflows without deep coding knowledge.

## When NOT to use mlops-zoomcamp

- AI Agents: Don't use an agent loop when a deterministic workflow would do; agents add latency, cost, and non-determinism.
- Evaluation & Observability: Defer heavyweight eval infra only until you have real traffic - never skip it once users depend on answers.
- Inference & Serving: Self-hosting rarely beats a hosted API on cost until you have steady, high-volume traffic.

## When NOT to use langflow

- - For developers preferring a code-first approach who find GUI interfaces restrictive for customization and workflow.
- - When the project does not align with or leverage the specific topics of focus such as ChatGPT, multi-agent systems, or requires integration with platforms that Langflow's graphical interface cannot
