## Choose when

### Choose harmonia if…

- License: harmonia is MPL-2.0, awesome-AutoML is GPL-3.0.
- Tags unique to harmonia: differential privacy, federated-learning, gitops.
- When needing frameworks that incorporate differential privacy directly into federated learning processes

### Choose awesome-AutoML if…

- License: awesome-AutoML is GPL-3.0, harmonia is MPL-2.0.
- Tags unique to awesome-AutoML: automl, hyperparameter-optimization, meta-learning, neural-architecture-search.
- When seeking comprehensive resources on diverse AutoML topics from recent and impactful research.

## When NOT to use harmonia

- If GitOps-inspired workflows are not aligned with your team's operational practices
- In scenarios where the use of Go is less preferred among development teams

## When NOT to use awesome-AutoML

- If looking for direct implementation advice as the repository focuses more on linking to resources rather than providing specific how-to guides.
- When requiring real-time or interactive AutoML features, since it's a curation hub rather than an application tool.
