LlamaDeploy is an async-first framework for deploying, scaling, and productionizing agentic multi-service systems built with llama_index workflows. It targets developers who want to transition notebook-based agent prototypes to robust, scalable cloud services with minimal code changes, offering a HTTP API for integration.

How It Works

LlamaDeploy utilizes a microservices architecture with a hub-and-spoke design. Workflows defined in llama_index are exposed as individual services. This approach allows for independent scaling of components, flexible swapping of underlying technologies (e.g., message queues), and inherent fault tolerance through built-in retry mechanisms. The control plane manages inter-service state, simplifying complex, multi-step agentic processes.

Quick Start & Requirements

• Install via pip: pip install llama_deploy
• Requires Python.
• Official documentation: https://docs.llamaindex.ai/en/stable/module_guides/deploying/llama_deploy/
• Examples: https://github.com/run-llama/llama_deploy/tree/main/examples

Highlighted Details

• Seamlessly deploys llama_index workflows to production with minimal code modification.
• Microservices architecture enables independent scaling and fault tolerance.
• Hub-and-spoke design allows for flexible component swapping and extensibility.
• Async-first design supports high-concurrency and real-time applications.

Maintenance & Community

• Formerly known as llama-agents.
• Focus shifted to bridging local development and remote execution of agents as services.
