## Choose when

### Choose awesome-production-machine-learning if…

- Tags unique to awesome-production-machine-learning: inference-serving, machine-learning-operations, ml-ops, model-deployment.
- Also covers Evaluation & Observability, Inference & Serving.
- If you need a diverse set of open-source tools for end-to-end production machine learning tasks

### Choose automl-gs if…

- Tags unique to automl-gs: automl, keras, machine-learning, python.
- Also covers Model Training.
- Need to rapidly prototype models with limited ML expertise

## When NOT to use awesome-production-machine-learning

- If you seek a comprehensive solution integrated into one platform rather than selecting from diverse tools
- When your project is specific to only one aspect of machine learning like just deployment or monitoring, and not for the entire workflow
- For teams preferring vendor-specific solutions over open-source options

## When NOT to use automl-gs

- Complex feature engineering or non-standard data inputs required
- Sensitive about licensing of the generated code
