When NOT to use Devon
- Last GitHub push was 415 days ago (dormant maintenance, May 26, 2025). Validate activity before betting a new project on Devon.
- AI Agents: Don't use an agent loop when a deterministic workflow would do; agents add latency, cost, and non-determinism.
- 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.
