LangFlow / DataStax

Open Source

Visual flow builder for LLM pipelines and agent workflows with self-hosting support.

Curated by Tiberiu ArvaStale

MITVersion 1.11.4Released 2026-08-19153,570

Strengths

  • Visual workflow canvas
  • LangChain ecosystem fit
  • API and playground handoff

Practitioner note

Useful for visual experimentation and internal workflow builds, though larger enterprise rollouts should validate long-term governance and platform direction after the IBM/DataStax shift.

Warning

LangFlow: DataStax Cloud is shutting down April 9, 2026. Self-hosting remains available.

EU AI Act obligations

Risk tier: Not applicable · as of 2026-08-23

Source-backed information mapped from LangFlow's tracked risk tier — not legal advice. Obligations depend on how your organisation deploys the system; see the full obligation reference and timeline.

This record's EU AI Act risk tier is marked not applicable, so no tier-specific obligations attach. Deployers embedding it in an AI system in scope of the Act should assess that system's own tier.
