## Choose when

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

- Tags unique to awesome-production-machine-learning: awesome, awesome-list, data-mining, deep-learning.
- Also covers AI Agents, LLM Frameworks.
- More GitHub stars (21k vs 117) - visibility, not fit.

### Choose rembo if…

- Tags unique to rembo: matlab.
- Also covers Evaluation & Observability.
- Leaner open-issue backlog (3).

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

- AI Agents: Don't use an agent loop when a deterministic workflow would do; agents add latency, cost, and non-determinism.
- LLM Frameworks: Avoid a framework for a single prompt-and-retrieve call; the abstraction can cost more than it saves.
- Vector Databases: Don't reach for a dedicated vector DB under ~100k vectors; pgvector on your existing Postgres is simpler to operate.

## When NOT to use rembo

- Last GitHub push was 4724 days ago (dormant maintenance, Aug 4, 2013). Validate activity before betting a new project on rembo.
- Evaluation & Observability: Defer heavyweight eval infra only until you have real traffic - never skip it once users depend on answers.
- Vector Databases: Don't reach for a dedicated vector DB under ~100k vectors; pgvector on your existing Postgres is simpler to operate.
