What is LangGraph and how does it differ from LangChain?

LangGraph builds stateful graphs for agents on LangChain primitives — nodes, edges, checkpoints for memory and flow control.

How do you add persistence to LangGraph with MongoDB?

Use MongoDBSaver: connect client, pass to compile(checkpointer=checkpointer), run with thread_id config.

Does LangGraph persistence work for multi-user apps?

Yes — thread_ids isolate conversations, scale to thousands with MongoDB sharding.
