Open-source Python orchestration framework from deepset for production LLM and RAG applications.
A Python framework for building context-engineered LLM applications by composing modular components into explicit pipelines and agent workflows. Offers control over retrieval, routing, memory, and generation, with integrations spanning OpenAI, Google, Anthropic, Hugging Face, and many vector document stores. Maintained by deepset, which also offers a commercial platform for building and operating Haystack-based applications.
Strengths
- Transparent, modular pipeline architecture
- Strong, mature support for RAG and retrieval workflows
- Broad ecosystem of model and document-store integrations
- Production focus with a commercial platform option from deepset
Tradeoffs
- Pipeline/component model adds boilerplate for simple tasks
- Historically RAG-centric, with agents added more recently
