Understand the project

Practical overview

When it fits

Use Dify when an LLM project requires assembled workflows, agent capabilities, retrieval pipelines, tool connections or a deployment path that can include self-hosted infrastructure rather than only a simple model interaction.

Who it is for

  • Developers building LLM applications
  • Teams creating agentic workflows or RAG pipelines
  • Organizations evaluating cloud, VPC or self-hosted deployment
  • Teams that need model, tool and observability support in one workspace

Documented uses

  • Build an agentic workflow application with connected models and tools
  • Create a retrieval-augmented generation application backed by a knowledge pipeline
  • Develop and operate an LLM application through a collaborative web workspace
  • Deploy an AI workflow application in a self-hosted environment
  • Connect supported observability integrations to monitor application behavior
Before you choose

Requirements & limits

It documents cloud, VPC and self-hosted deployment options but does not provide pricing or account requirements.

  • Whether the project needs workflow and agent construction rather than a standalone model interface
  • Whether retrieval-augmented generation and knowledge pipelines are required
  • Whether cloud, VPC or self-hosted deployment fits the team’s operating model
  • Whether supported integrations such as Opik, Langfuse or Arize Phoenix meet observability needs
  • Whether a collaborative web workspace and low-code approach suit the development process

Check current requirements in the official documentation. Source-based guidance does not mean OpenViST has run or independently tested this project.
