Promptflow
Microsoft's toolset for building, testing, and orchestrating LLM-based application workflows (prompt chains, evaluation, tracing). Standout trait is strong tooling for evaluating and iterating on prompt flows, not just running them.

⚙ Full Stack
Python-based orchestration engine and CLI/SDK for defining DAG-style LLM workflows, with a local YAML-driven flow format and optional tracing UI. Designed to integrate with Azure ML but runnable fully locally/self-hosted.
📈 Scaling Analysis
The flow-serving component is largely stateless and can scale horizontally behind a load balancer since flow definitions are just files, with the real scaling bottleneck being whatever LLM backend it calls. Well-suited to internal tooling scale; not a system with its own heavy state-management scaling story.
🚀 Running on Nexlayer
Deploy as a single Python service pod exposing the flow-serving API, calling out to whatever LLM backend is configured (e.g. an internal LiteLLM-style router pod at llm.pod:4000) via Nexlayer's inter-pod DNS; pull the base Python image through mirror.gcr.io. Keep LLM API keys as pod env vars rather than embedding them in flow YAML files.
