Let's first install langchain-serve using pip.
pip install langchain-serve👉 Let's go through a step-by-step guide to build, deploy and use a REST API using @serving decorator.
langchain-serve exposes a @slackbot decorator to quickly build, deploy & distribute LLM-powered Slack bots without worrying about the infrastructure. It provides a simple interface to any langchain app on and makes them super accessible to users a platform they're already comfortable with.
✨ Ready to dive in?
- There's a step-by-step guide in the repository to help you build your own bot for helping with reasoning.
- Here's another step-by-step guide to help you chat over own internal HR-realted documents (like onboarding, policies etc.) with your employees right inside your Slack workspace.
To add an extra layer of security, we can integrate any custom API authorization by adding a auth argument to the @serving decorator.
Show code & gotchas
from lcserve import serving
def authorizer(token: str) -> Any:
if not token == 'mysecrettoken': # Change this to add your own authorization logic
raise Exception('Unauthorized') # Raise an exception if the request is not authorized
return 'userid' # Return any user id or object
@serving(auth=authorizer)
def ask(question: str, **kwargs) -> str:
auth_response = kwargs['auth_response'] # This will be 'userid'
return ...
@serving(websocket=True, auth=authorizer)
async def talk(question: str, **kwargs) -> str:
auth_response = kwargs['auth_response'] # This will be 'userid'
return ...- Should accept only one argument
token. - Should raise an Exception if the request is not authorized.
- Can return any object, which will be passed to the
auth_responseobject underkwargsto the functions. - Expects Bearer token in the
Authorizationheader of the request. - Sample HTTP request with
curl:curl -X 'POST' 'http://localhost:8080/ask' -H 'Authorization: Bearer mysecrettoken' -d '{ "question": "...", "envs": {} }'
- Sample WebSocket request with
wscat:wscat -H "Authorization: Bearer mysecrettoken" -c ws://localhost:8080/talk
HITL for LangChain agents on production can be challenging since the agents are typically running on servers where humans don't have direct access. langchain-serve bridges this gap by enabling websocket APIs that allow for real-time interaction and feedback between the agent and a human operator.
Check out this example to see how you can enable HITL for your agents.
Every app deployed on Jina AI Cloud gets a persistent storage (EFS) mounted locally which can be accessed via workspace kwarg in the @serving function.
Show code
from lcserve import serving
@serving
def store(text: str, **kwargs):
workspace: str = kwargs.get('workspace')
path = f'{workspace}/store.txt'
print(f'Writing to {path}')
with open(path, 'a') as f:
f.writelines(text + '\n')
return 'OK'
@serving(websocket=True)
async def stream(**kwargs):
workspace: str = kwargs.get('workspace')
websocket: WebSocket = kwargs.get('websocket')
path = f'{workspace}/store.txt'
print(f'Streaming {path}')
async with aiofiles.open(path, 'r') as f:
async for line in f:
await websocket.send_text(line)
return 'OK'Here, we are using the workspace to store the incoming text in a file via the REST endpoint and streaming the contents of the file via the WebSocket endpoint.
If you already have a FastAPI app with pre-defined endpoints, you can use lc-serve to deploy it on Jina AI Cloud.
lc-serve deploy jcloud --app filename:app Show details
Let's take an example of a simple FastAPI app with directory structure
.
└── endpoints.py# endpoints.py
from typing import Union
from fastapi import FastAPI
app = FastAPI()
@app.get("/status")
def read_root():
return {"Hello": "World"}
@app.get("/items/{item_id}")
def read_item(item_id: int, q: Union[str, None] = None):
return {"item_id": item_id, "q": q}lc-serve deploy jcloud --app endpoints:appYou can use secrets during app deployment by passing a secrets file to deployment with the --secrets flag. The secrets file should be a .env file containing the secrets.
lcserve deploy jcloud app --secrets .envShow details
Let's take an example of a simple app that uses OPENAI_API_KEY stored as secrets.
This app directory contains the following files:
.
├── main.py # The app
├── jcloud.yml # JCloud deployment config file
├── README.md # This README file
├── requirements.txt # The requirements file for the app
└── secrets.env # The secrets file containing the redis credentials
Note
secret.envin this directory is a dummy file. You should replace it with your own secrets after creating a Redis instance. (For example with Upstash), such as:
OPENAI_API_KEY=sk-xxx
main.py will look like:
# main.py
from lcserve import serving
from langchain.prompts import PromptTemplate
from langchain.chains import LLMChain
from langchain.chat_models import ChatOpenAI
prompt = PromptTemplate(
input_variables=["subject"],
template="Write me a short poem about {subject}?",
)
@serving(openai_tracing=True)
def poem(subject: str, **kwargs):
tracing_handler = kwargs.get("tracing_handler")
chat = ChatOpenAI(temperature=0.5, callbacks=[tracing_handler])
chain = LLMChain(llm=chat, prompt=prompt, callbacks=[tracing_handler])
return chain.run(subject)In the above example, the app will use OPENAI_API_KEY provided by the secrets to interact with OpenAI.
Then you can deploy using the following command and interact with the deployed endpoint.
lc-serve deploy jcloud main --secrets secrets.envHere's a step-by-step guide to trigger one-time jobs to run asynchronously using @job decorator.
lc-serve is a simple CLI that helps you to deploy your agents on Jina AI Cloud (JCloud)
| Description | Command |
|---|---|
| Deploy your app locally | lc-serve deploy local app |
| Export your app as Kubernetes YAML | lc-serve export app --kind kubernetes --path . |
| Export your app as Docker Compose YAML | lc-serve export app --kind docker-compose --path . |
| Deploy your app on JCloud | lc-serve deploy jcloud app |
| Deploy FastAPI app on JCloud | lc-serve deploy jcloud --app <app-name>:<app-object> |
| Update existing app on JCloud | lc-serve deploy jcloud app --app-id <app-id> |
| Get app status on JCloud | lc-serve status <app-id> |
| List all apps on JCloud | lc-serve list |
| Remove app on JCloud | lc-serve remove <app-id> |
| Pause app on JCloud | lc-serve pause <app-id> |
| Resume app on JCloud | lc-serve resume <app-id> |
For JCloud deployment, you can configure your application infrastructure by providing a YAML configuration file using the --config option. The supported configurations are:
- Instance type (
instance), as defined by Jina AI Cloud. - Minimum number of replicas for your application (
autoscale_min). Setting it 0 enables serverless. - Disk size (
disk_size), in GB. The default value is 1 GB.
For example:
instance: C4
autoscale_min: 0
disk_size: 1.5G
You can alternatively include a jcloud.yaml file in your application directory with the desired configurations. However, please note that if the --config option is explicitly used in the command line interface, the local jcloud.yaml file will be disregarded. The command line provided configuration file will take precedence.
If you don't provide a configuration file or a specific configuration isn't specified, the following default settings will be applied:
instance: C3
autoscale_min: 1
disk_size: 1G
Applications hosted on JCloud are priced in two categories:
Base credits
- Base credits are charged to ensure high availability for your application by maintaining at least one instance running continuously, ready to handle incoming requests. If you wish to stop the serving application, you can either remove the app completely or put it on pause, the latter allows you to resume the app serving based on persisted configurations (refer to
lc-serveCLI section for more information). Both options will halt the consumption of credits. - Actual credits charged for base credits are calculated based on the instance type as defined by Jina AI Cloud.
- By default, instance type
C3is used with a minimum of 1 instance and Amazon EFS disk of size 1G, which means that if your application is served on JCloud, you will be charged ~10 credits per hour. - You can change the instance type and the minimum number of instances by providing a YAML configuration file using the
--configoption. For example, if you want to use instance typeC4with a minimum of 0 replicas, and 2G EFS disk, you can provide the following configuration file:instance: C4 autoscale_min: 0 disk_size: 2G
Serving credits
- Serving credits are charged when your application is actively serving incoming requests.
- Actual credits charged for serving credits are calculated based on the credits for the instance type multiplied by the duration for which your application serves requests.
- You are charged for each second your application is serving requests.
Total credits charged = Base credits + Serving credits. (Jina AI Cloud defines each credit as €0.005)
Example 1
Consider an HTTP application that has served requests for 10 minutes in the last hour and uses a custom config:
instance: C4
autoscale_min: 0
disk_size: 2G
Total credits per hour charged would be 3.33. The calculation is as follows:
C4 instance has an hourly credit rate of 20.
EFS has hourly credit rate of 0.104 per GB.
Base credits = 0 + 2 * 0.104 = 0.208 (since `autoscale_min` is 0)
Serving credits = 20 * 10/60 = 3.33
Total credits per hour = 0.208 + 3.33 = 3.538
Example 2
Consider a WebSocket application that had active connections for 20 minutes in the last hour and uses the default configuration.
instance: C3
autoscale_min: 1
disk_size: 1G
Total credits per hour charged would be 13.33. The calculation is as follows:
C3 instance has an hourly credit rate of 10.
EFS has hourly credit rate of 0.104 per GB.
Base credits = 10 + 1 * 0.104 = 10.104 (since `autoscale_min` is 1)
Serving credits = 10 * 20/60 = 3.33
Total credits per hour = 10.104 + 3.33 = 13.434

lc-serve command is registered during langchain-serve installation. If you get command not found: lc-serve error, please replace lc-serve command with python -m lcserve & retry.
Expand
If you make long HTTP/ WebSocket requests, the default timeout value (2 minutes) might not be suitable for your use case. You can provide a custom timeout value during JCloud deployment by using the --timeout argument.
Additionally, for HTTP, you may also experience timeouts due to limitations in the OSS we used in langchain-serve. While we are working to permanently address this issue, we recommend using HTTP/1.1 in your client as a temporary workaround.
For WebSocket, please note that the connection will be closed if idle for more than 5 minutes.
Expand
We provide 2 options to pass environment variables:
-
Use
--envduring app deployment to load env variables from a.envfile. For example,lc-serve deploy jcloud app --env some.envwill load all env variables fromsome.envfile and pass them to the app. These env variables will be available in the app asos.environ['ENV_VAR_NAME']. -
You can also pass env variables while sending requests to the app both in HTTP and WebSocket.
envsfield in the request body is used to pass env variables. For example{ "question": "What is the meaning of life?", "envs": { "ENV_VAR_NAME": "ENV_VAR_VALUE" } }
