Integrating LangChain with FastAPI for Asynchronous Streaming
LangChain and FastAPI working in tandem provide a strong setup for the asynchronous streaming endpoints that LLM-integrated applications need. Modern chat applications live or die by how effectively they handle live data streams and how quickly they can respond. LangChain is a library that simplifies the incorporation of language models into applications. It provides an abstracted layer over various components such as large language models (LLMs), data retrievers, and vector storage solutions. This abstraction allows developers to integrate and switch between different backend providers or technologies seamlessly. FastAPI is a modern, fast (high-performance), web framework for building APIs with Python 3.7+ based on standard Python type hints. It is designed for creating RESTful APIs quickly and efficiently, with automatic interactive API documentation provided by Swagger and ReDoc.
