## Choose when

### Choose jarvis-registry if…

- Tags unique to jarvis-registry: agent, agent-gateway, agent-orchestration, mcp.
- Also covers Inference & Serving.
- jarvis-registry ships Docker support for self-hosted deployment.

### Choose daytona if…

- Requirements: While creating and managing sandboxes in Daytona, users require an API key to authenticate their requests..

## When NOT to use jarvis-registry

- 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.
- Inference & Serving: Self-hosting rarely beats a hosted API on cost until you have steady, high-volume traffic.

## When NOT to use daytona

- Avoid using Daytona if you have strict requirements for the programming languages it supports, since this information is currently unknown.
- Daytona might not be suitable if your development workflow does not require API access or an online dashboard, as its user interface and API integration are key components.
