LangChain releases Mission Control to manage self-hosted LangSmith on Kubernetes

LangChain has released Mission Control, a new tool for the operational management of the self-hosted version of LangSmith, a platform for developing and monitoring LLM applications.

What Mission Control does

The tool simplifies deploying and maintaining LangSmith on Kubernetes. Mission Control runs inside the cluster, automates routine operational tasks and gives visibility into the state of the system. This matters most for teams that want full control over their LLM infrastructure and are not willing to use a cloud SaaS.

• In-cluster configuration: set up and manage parameters directly in Kubernetes
• Preflight checks: automatic checks before deployment
• Health views: real-time monitoring of component health
• Release management: management of versions and updates
• Diagnostics: tools for debugging and analyzing problems

Who it's for

Mission Control is aimed at teams that have already launched self-hosted LangSmith and are struggling with operational complexity. Instead of writing their own scripts and tools, teams can now use a ready-made solution that understands the specifics of LangSmith and Kubernetes. It is especially useful for companies with strict requirements for security, latency or data residency, where cloud log storage is not an option.

What this means

Self-hosted LLM platforms are becoming easier to operate. Mission Control lowers the barrier for teams that want to keep control over their data and infrastructure without hiring a dedicated devops engineer just for that.
