## Choose when

### Choose code-server if…

- code-server is primarily TypeScript; onnxruntime-server is C++.
- Tags unique to code-server: browser-ide, dev-tools, development-environment, ide.
- More GitHub stars (78k vs 193) - visibility, not fit.

### Choose onnxruntime-server if…

- onnxruntime-server is primarily C++; code-server is TypeScript.
- Tags unique to onnxruntime-server: ai, contributions-welcome, cuda, deep-learning.
- Also covers Computer Vision.

## 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 onnxruntime-server
