Choose jarvis-registry if…
- Tags unique to jarvis-registry: agent-gateway, agent-orchestration, aws-eks, cloud-native-deployment.
- Also covers Evaluation & Observability.
- jarvis-registry ships Docker support for self-hosted deployment.
- When needing secure integration of AI agents into various enterprise applications
When NOT to use jarvis-registry
- If no cloud service deployment is available or intended
- When a more customizable self-hosted option without predefined identity or access control structures suffices
- In scenarios where integrated observability features are not needed or preferred separately
Choose agent-kernel if…
- Requirements: It requires Python versions between 3.12 and 3.13.x.; Supports deployment to various environments such as AWS Lambda, ECS, Azure Functions, or Container Apps via one Terraform module..
- Tags unique to agent-kernel: a2a, adk, aws, azure.
- If you require seamless scalability across different cloud providers like AWS and Azure without lock-in or rewrites.
When NOT to use agent-kernel
- If your project is confined to a single, specific AI framework which doesn't require the flexibility Agent-kernel offers.
- When you do not have Python version 3.12 - 3.13.x, as it's the required runtime environment.
