Validate activity before betting a new project on HPOBench. - Evaluation & Observability: Defer heavyweight eval infra only until you have real traffic - never skip it once users depend on answers. ## When NOT to use casdoor - If your project requires proprietary technology exclusivity and cannot utilize open-source tools like Casdoor licensed under Apache-2.0. - When the depth of integration with specific authentication methods (e.g., some advanced SAML configurations) is critical, and you find that other competitors offer more specialized or better-detailed/ - +customizable versions of support for those methods. - If your environment strictly requires closed-source components for security reasons, thus Casdoor would not be a suitable choice due to its open nature. ## Common questions ### What is the difference between HPOBench and casdoor?
