Choose agentfield if…
- Tags unique to agentfield: agent-auth, agent-authentication, agent-scaling, agentic-ai.
- When you seek to manage and scale your AI agents with robust identity awareness and auditability features from inception.
When NOT to use agentfield
- If your project requires heavy customization in languages other than Go as Agentfield is primarily built using Go which may limit its adaptability in polyglot environments.
Choose go-micro if…
- Tags unique to go-micro: ai, ai-agents, distributed-systems, go.
- Also covers Developer Tools.
- go-micro ships Docker support for self-hosted deployment.
- Use go-micro if you seek to leverage its built-in `plan` and `delegate` capabilities for orchestrating multi-step workflows across microservices.
When NOT to use go-micro
- Avoid go-micro if you are looking for a tool that supports extensive documentation or examples outside of its inherent capabilities with `plan` and `delegate`; focus is more on agent harness and less.
- Steer clear of this framework if your project architecture must be Docker-based, as the deployment methods provided by go-micro rely primarily on SSH and systemd rather than containerization.
