Validate activity before betting a new project on langchain-tutorials. - 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. - Developer Tools: A gateway is overkill when you're pinned to a single provider and model. ## When NOT to use moby - LLM Frameworks: Avoid a framework for a single prompt-and-retrieve call; the abstraction can cost more than it saves. - Inference & Serving: Self-hosting rarely beats a hosted API on cost until you have steady, high-volume traffic. - Developer Tools: A gateway is overkill when you're pinned to a single provider and model. ## Common questions ### What is the difference between langchain-tutorials and moby? langchain-tutorials: Overview and tutorial of the LangChain Library. moby: The Moby Project - a collaborative project for the container ecosystem to assemble container-based systems.
