swarmstate

Drop-in state backend for LangGraph, CrewAI & custom agent loops — Rust core, framework-agnostic, built for production.

swarmstate is a state and checkpointing backend with a Rust core and a Python API for multi-agent systems. It is not an orchestration framework: it is the fast engine that sits underneath LangGraph, CrewAI, and custom agent loops — the same way a fast columnar engine sits underneath data workloads.

It solves three production pains:

1. State lock-in across frameworks — a framework-agnostic store so migrating frameworks doesn't lose state.
2. Checkpointing cost and latency — a Rust-backed implementation of LangGraph's checkpointer interface.
3. Deterministic routing paid for in tokens — a native handoff graph that resolves rule-based transitions in microseconds.

Installation

pip install swarmstate            # prebuilt abi3 wheels, no compiler required

Optional extras: swarmstate[langgraph], swarmstate[crewai], swarmstate[redis], swarmstate[all].

Usage

import swarmstate as ss

store = ss.Store()                              # in-memory, msgpack codec
store.set("workflow", "onboarding", {"step": 3, "data": {...}})
snap = store.snapshot()                          # cheap, immutable snapshot
store.set("workflow", "onboarding", {"step": 4})
store.restore(snap)                              # rollback
store.get("workflow", "onboarding")              # -> {"step": 3, "data": {...}}

snap2 = store.snapshot()
snap2.diff(snap)                                 # {"added": [...], "removed": [...], "changed": [...]}

# Deterministic, LLM-free routing (resolved natively in Rust)
g = ss.HandoffGraph()
g.add_edge("triage", "billing", when="category == 'billing'")
g.add_edge("triage", "human")                    # unconditional default
g.route("triage", {"category": "billing"})       # -> "billing"

Drop-in LangGraph checkpointer (pip install "swarmstate[langgraph]"):

from swarmstate.integrations.langgraph import SwarmStateSaver

graph = builder.compile(checkpointer=SwarmStateSaver())   # replaces SqliteSaver, 1 line

Status

Early development.

• M0 (scaffolding) ✅ — Rust core builds; import swarmstate works.
• M1 (Rust store) ✅ — concurrent KV store, msgpack codec, O(1) immutable snapshots, incremental diffs, GIL released on hot paths.
• M2 (HandoffGraph) ✅ — deterministic conditional routing with a safe Rust condition evaluator (no eval), cycle detection.
• M3 (LangGraph adapter) ✅ — SwarmStateSaver, a drop-in BaseCheckpointSaver backed by the Store; snapshot/roll back the whole checkpoint DB at once.
• M4 (Benchmarks) — next.
