## Choose when

### Choose code-server if…

- code-server is primarily TypeScript; sagify is Python.
- Tags unique to code-server: dev-tools, ide, vscode-remote, remote-work.
- More GitHub stars (78k vs 443) - visibility, not fit.

### Choose sagify if…

- sagify is primarily Python; code-server is TypeScript.
- Tags unique to sagify: large language model, large-language-models, generative-ai, ai-gateway.
- Also covers LLM Frameworks.

## When NOT to use code-server

- 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 sagify

- Last GitHub push was 150 days ago (slowing maintenance, Feb 11, 2026). Validate activity before betting a new project on sagify.
- LLM Frameworks: Avoid a framework for a single prompt-and-retrieve call; the abstraction can cost more than it saves.
- 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.
