Langfuse is the open-source LLM engineering platform: tracing & evaluations for LLM and agent applications, prompt management, datasets & experiments, and evaluation (scores). This package provides the CallbackHandler for tracing LangChain and LangGraph invocations with Langfuse. Spans are exported by the LangfuseSpanProcessor from @langfuse/otel; prompt management, datasets/experiments, and evals/scores live in @langfuse/client.
Important
This is the current SDK generation (@langfuse/* scoped packages). The unscoped langfuse-langchain npm package belongs to the legacy v3 SDK — for new integrations use @langfuse/langchain. Migration guides: v3 → v4, v4 → v5.
