This guide demonstrates how to build a sophisticated code generation system using LangGraph and HoneyHive tracing. The system combines Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) with self-correction capabilities to generate reliable code solutions. HoneyHive’s tracing capabilities provide comprehensive visibility into the entire process, making debugging and optimization easier than ever.

Overview

The system consists of several key components:
  • Documentation loading and processing (traced with HoneyHive)
  • LLM setup with structured output (monitored for performance)
  • A LangGraph workflow for code generation and validation (with detailed tracing)
  • HoneyHive tracing for monitoring and debugging (real-time insights)

Prerequisites
