Choose gateway if…
- gateway is primarily TypeScript; glide is Go.
- License: gateway is MIT, glide is Apache-2.0.
- Tags unique to gateway: ai-agents, anthropic, language-model, llmops.
- Also covers LLM Frameworks.
- When you need a fully local SDK that supports more than 300 LLMs with a unified interface.
When NOT to use gateway
- If you are looking for a cloud-based service, as Adaline Gateway is fully local and not a proxy.
- When you need support for a specific LLM that is not among the 300+ supported by Adaline Gateway.
- If you do not require or want the complexity of a fully featured SDK with extensive customization options.
- When you prefer a simpler, less extensible solution for calling LLMs.
Choose glide if…
- glide is primarily Go; gateway is TypeScript.
- License: glide is Apache-2.0, gateway is MIT.
- Tags unique to glide: gateway, genai, generative-ai, go.
- When you need a fast and simple gateway for GenAI applications that supports multiple Docker environments, including Alpine, Ubuntu, Google Distroless, and RedHat UBI.
When NOT to use glide
- If your application requires a more complex setup or customization that goes beyond what Glide offers, as it is designed to be simple and fast rather than highly configurable.
- When you are working in a Windows environment without `make` command support and prefer not to follow additional setup instructions from the demo repository.
- If you are looking for a solution that is not built in Go, as Glide might not be the best fit for teams that have a strong preference for other programming languages.
