Advanced LangChain Engineering
Agents, retrieval, tracing, evaluation, resilience, and deployment.
A rigorous advanced course on production LangChain composition, agent and retrieval design, tracing, evaluation, resilience, streaming, and deployment. The curriculum is grounded in the curated technical references and preserves their technical depth, code, diagrams, decision rules, and failure analysis. Every lesson adds objectives, an applied lab, review questions, and concrete completion evidence. The course closes with a substantial capstone: Ship and evaluate a production-style LLM service with retrieval, tools, tracing, typed contracts, fallbacks, and deployment controls.
