## Choose when

### Choose agent-orchestrator if…

- agent-orchestrator is primarily Go; astron-agent is Java.
- Tags unique to agent-orchestrator: agent-fleet, agent-swarm, claude-code, codex-cli.
- Also covers Developer Tools.
- You are working on large-scale projects with multiple parallel tasks that require efficient CI fixes, merge conflict resolution and code reviews.

### Choose astron-agent if…

- astron-agent is primarily Java; agent-orchestrator is Go.
- Tags unique to astron-agent: agent, agentic-ai, enterprise-automation, low-code.
- You need an enterprise automation task solution that supports both low-code development and multi-agent orchestration.

## When NOT to use agent-orchestrator

- If your work primarily consists of simple or small projects with light tasks, the overhead of setting up Agent Orchestrator may outweigh its benefits.
- If you prefer traditional workflow tools without reliance on autonomous agent technology for day-to-day operations.

## When NOT to use astron-agent

- If your project does not align with an Apache-2.0 license requirement or if dependency on Java is not feasible within your tech stack.
- For scenarios preferring native Python configurations over Docker-based setups for simplicity and direct management of low-code AI agent tasks.
