Over-abstraction (десятки classes для simple chain), fast-changing API (breaking changes every few months), heavy dependencies. Для quick prototype — fine, для production — часто rewrite с simpler.
LlamaIndex: RAG-focused, cleaner для data ingestion/querying. LangChain: более general-purpose (agents, tools, memory).
Simplest JS framework для LLM. useChat, useCompletion React hooks. Streaming out-of-box. Для Next.js apps — best choice.
LangSmith ($39/user), LangFuse (open source), Braintrust. + <a href="/check">Enterno</a> для endpoint uptime.
