- AI Agents: Don't use an agent loop when a deterministic workflow would do; agents add latency, cost, and non-determinism.
- Vector Databases: Don't reach for a dedicated vector DB under ~100k vectors; pgvector on your existing Postgres is simpler to operate.
Choose ravendb if…
- ravendb is primarily C#; carla is C++.
- License: ravendb is Other, carla is MIT.
- Tags unique to ravendb: dotnet, full-text-search, nosql, csharp.
