The repository contains links to alpha-stage projects like Chidori, which may not be suitable for immediate deployment. ## When NOT to use awesome-pipeline - AI Agents: Don't use an agent loop when a deterministic workflow would do; agents add latency, cost, and non-determinism. - Data & Retrieval: Skip a heavy ingestion framework when your corpus is small and static; a script plus the embedding API is enough. - Developer Tools: A gateway is overkill when you're pinned to a single provider and model. ## Common questions ### What is the difference between awesome-ai-sdks and awesome-pipeline? awesome-ai-sdks: A database of SDKs for AI agents creation and management. awesome-pipeline: A curated list of awesome pipeline toolkits inspired by Awesome Sysadmin.
