🎯 What is This?

LangGraph Runtime InMem Open is a 100% open-source alternative to the closed-source langgraph-runtime-inmem package. Created by Abdulmalik Alquwayfili, this project solves critical supply-chain security issues while providing the same functionality as the original.

🔍 The Problem We Solve

The original langgraph-runtime-inmem package is:

• ❌ Closed-source - No public repository or code review
• ❌ PyPI-only - Creates supply-chain security risks
• ❌ Not auditable - Cannot verify security or functionality
• ❌ Not transparent - Cannot see what the code actually does

This affects:

• 🔒 Security - Cannot audit for vulnerabilities
• 📦 Nixpkgs - Cannot include packages with closed-source dependencies
• 👥 Community - Cannot contribute improvements
• 🔍 Transparency - Cannot verify package behavior

✅ Our Solution

This open-source alternative provides:

• ✅ 100% Open Source - MIT licensed, fully transparent
• ✅ GitHub Hosted - Public repository with full history
• ✅ Fully Auditable - Complete source code review
• ✅ Community Driven - Accepts contributions and improvements
• ✅ Drop-in Replacement - Same API as the original package
• ✅ Nixpkgs Ready - No supply-chain risks

🔧 Usage Examples

Basic Store Operations

from langgraph_runtime_inmem_open import InMemoryStore

# Create a store instance
store = InMemoryStore()

# Store data with namespace
store.put(("users", "123"), "preferences", {
    "theme": "dark",
    "language": "en",
    "notifications": True
})

# Retrieve data
prefs = store.get(("users", "123"), "preferences")
print(prefs)  # {'theme': 'dark', 'language': 'en', 'notifications': True}

# Search data with filters
dark_theme_users = store.search(("users",), filter={"theme": "dark"})
print(f"Found {len(dark_theme_users)} users with dark theme")

# List all namespaces
namespaces = store.list_namespaces()
print(namespaces)  # [('users', '123')]

# Delete data
store.delete(("users", "123"), "preferences")

Checkpoint Operations

from langgraph_runtime_inmem_open import MemorySaver

# Create a checkpoint saver
saver = MemorySaver()

# Save a checkpoint
checkpoint_data = {
    "state": "running",
    "step": 5,
    "data": {"key": "value"},
    "timestamp": "2024-01-15T10:30:00Z"
}
saver.put("thread-123", checkpoint_data)

# Load a checkpoint
loaded_data = saver.get("thread-123")
print(loaded_data)  # {'state': 'running', 'step': 5, ...}

# List all threads
threads = saver.list_threads()
print(threads)  # ['thread-123']

# Use context manager for safe operations
with saver as ctx:
    ctx.save({"test": "data"})
    loaded = ctx.load()
    print(loaded)  # {"test": "data"}

LangGraph Integration

from langgraph_runtime_inmem_open import InMemoryStore, MemorySaver
from langgraph.graph import StateGraph
from langgraph.checkpoint.memory import MemorySaver as LangGraphMemorySaver

# Use our implementation with LangGraph
store = InMemoryStore()
saver = MemorySaver()

# Create a graph with our checkpoint saver
graph = StateGraph(state_schema=YourState)
graph = graph.compile(checkpointer=saver)

# Your LangGraph workflow now uses our open-source implementation!

Advanced Usage with Disk Persistence

from langgraph_runtime_inmem_open import DiskBackedMemorySaver

# Create a disk-backed saver for persistence
saver = DiskBackedMemorySaver(persist_path="./checkpoints")

# Data will be automatically saved to disk
saver.put("important-thread", {"critical": "data"})

# Data persists across process restarts
# saver = DiskBackedMemorySaver(persist_path="./checkpoints")
# data = saver.get("important-thread")  # Still available!

🔄 Migration Guide

# Before (closed-source)
from langgraph_runtime_inmem import InMemoryStore, MemorySaver

# After (open-source)
from langgraph_runtime_inmem_open import InMemoryStore, MemorySaver

# That's it! Same API, same functionality, but now open source!

Nixpkgs Migration

# Before (problematic)
langgraph-cli = python3Packages.buildPythonPackage rec {
  # ... other config
  propagatedBuildInputs = with python3Packages; [
    # langgraph-runtime-inmem  # ❌ Closed source, supply-chain risk
  ];
};

# After (secure)
langgraph-cli = python3Packages.buildPythonPackage rec {
  # ... other config
  propagatedBuildInputs = with python3Packages; [
    langgraph-runtime-inmem-open  # ✅ Open source, auditable
  ];
