When NOT to use athina-evals
- Last GitHub push was 400 days ago (dormant maintenance, Jun 6, 2025). Validate activity before betting a new project on athina-evals.
- Developer Tools: A gateway is overkill when you're pinned to a single provider and model.
- Evaluation & Observability: Defer heavyweight eval infra only until you have real traffic - never skip it once users depend on answers.
- LLM Frameworks: Avoid a framework for a single prompt-and-retrieve call; the abstraction can cost more than it saves.

When NOT to use moby
- Developer Tools: A gateway is overkill when you're pinned to a single provider and model.
