LangGraph Persistence & Memory
- Checkpointer: Saves/loads graph state at every super-step
- Thread ID: Identifies separate checkpoint sequences (conversations)
- Store: Cross-thread memory for user preferences, facts
Two memory types:
- Short-term (checkpointer): Thread-scoped conversation history
- Long-term (store): Cross-thread user preferences, facts
| Checkpointer | Use Case | Production Ready |
|---|---|---|

Testing, development | No |
