Pipeline, Flow, or Chain? Picking the Right Tool to Wire LLM Calls Together
The article discusses the confusion between pipeline, flow, and chain when integrating Large Language Model (LLM) calls. It explains that the choice of tool depends on the complexity of the workflow and whether it's deterministic. For simple LLM workflows, chaining libraries like LangChain are suitable, while general orchestrators like Airflow are better for complex workflows. Engineers should choose the lightest tool that meets their needs, considering factors like state management and reliability.
