Dear LangChain,

Deployment. Governance. Audit logs. Rollbacks. CI/CD.
You paywalled all of it.
So we open-sourced all of it.
You're welcome.

Dear LangChain,

Heading to Interrupt 2026? We'll be there too. Sort of.

Look — you genuinely did something incredible. You made building agents accessible. You built the verbs. You built the graphs. You built the chains. You handed a generation of developers a superpower in four lines of Python.

We took notes. We took a lot of notes.

Then Friday came. The agent needed to ship. With SSO. With approvals. With audit logs. With tenant isolation. With a self-hosted control plane that wasn't an Enterprise sales call.

And suddenly the docs got very, very quiet.

Audit logs became a pricing page. Self-hosting the control plane became a sales call. Governance became an Enterprise tier conversation.

We have a few questions. If you have a sec.

— Langship 🖤

Quick questions

01.How do we deploy without your platform?
02.Why is git push a paid feature now?
03.What if we want approval gates, audit logs, and rollbacks — without a sales call?
04.What if we use CrewAI on Tuesdays?
05.Also — when exactly did shipping to production become an enterprise feature?

langchain_deploy_check.sh

# Okay let's see how we ship this thing to prod

$langgraph deploy my-agent --self-hosted-control-plane

Error: self-hosted LangSmith requires an Enterprise license key.

$langgraph audit-logs --tail

Error: audit logs are available on Enterprise plans. Contact sales.

$langgraph deploy my-agent --runtime bedrock-agentcore

Error: unsupported runtime. Use LangSmith Deployment.

# 👀 oh. oh no.

$pip install "git+https://github.com/open-gitagent/langship.sh.git#subdirectory=langship-cli"

✓ installed langship 0.1.0

$langship login --api-url https://langship.your-co.internal

$langship pipelines push .langship/pipelines/prod.yaml

✓ updated pipeline prod-deploy

$langship agents trigger my-agent

▶ build → scan → eval → approval → deploy(bedrock-agentcore)

✓ deployed · https://bedrock-agentcore.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/runtimes/.../invocations

Anyway. We built one.

It does all of this. It is open source. It is free. Just so you know.

✓ Drag-and-drop CI/CD pipelines. Visual canvas. Git is the source of truth.
✓ Deploy to Kubernetes, AWS Bedrock AgentCore, or GCP Vertex. Same definition.
✓ Environments are first-class. Dev, staging, prod — each with their own pipeline.
✓ Approval gates, eval gates, audit logs, rollback. As nodes. Not as invoices.
✓ Governance and tenant isolation that applies uniformly across every runtime.
✓ LangChain, LangGraph, LlamaIndex, CrewAI, AutoGen, Pydantic AI, raw SDK. All welcome.
✓ Self-hostable. Forever. No "contact sales" page. No per-agent tax. Yours.

Think of us as Vercel, but for agents. Except we don't gate the interesting parts behind a growth plan.

We're open-sourcing all three pillars — deployment, governance, and ops — because we believe shipping your agent shouldn't require a procurement process.

— Langship 🖤
P.S. We support LangGraph too. No hard feelings.

The honest comparison

Things you can't do. And then things you can.
