Choose agno if…
- agno is primarily Python; go-micro is Go.
- Tags unique to agno: agents, developer-tools, python.
- Use agno for a high level of control over your AI agent platform, including 50+ production API endpoints and support for 100+ integrations. Ideal if you need to customize data ownership and permissions.
When NOT to use agno
- AI Agents: Don't use an agent loop when a deterministic workflow would do; agents add latency, cost, and non-determinism.
- Developer Tools: A gateway is overkill when you're pinned to a single provider and model.
Choose go-micro if…
- go-micro is primarily Go; agno is Python.
- Tags unique to go-micro: ai, distributed-systems, go, golang.
- 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.
