Choose agent-starter-pack if…
- Requirements: Depends on Python 3.10+.; Requires the Google Cloud SDK for interacting with GCP services.; Terraform is needed for deployment purposes.; Make utility should be installed for development tasks..
- Tags unique to agent-starter-pack: agents, gcp, gemini, genai-agents.
- You are working with Google Cloud and wish to deploy generative AI agents quickly using production-ready templates that come with integrated CI/CD pipelines.
When NOT to use agent-starter-pack
- Your project is hosted on a cloud provider other than Google Cloud, as this tool is optimized for GCP services and uses Terraform specifically configured for deployment with it.
- You do not need or want built-in CI/CD pipelines and evaluation tools, preferring to manage these components separately through different tools or self-configured setups.
Choose aigis if…
- Tags unique to aigis: ai-agent, ai-security, compliance, cybersecurity.
- aigis ships Docker support for self-hosted deployment.
- When your AI application requires robust security measures with minimal setup complexity
When NOT to use aigis
- If your project strictly avoids adding third-party libraries
- When a full-fledged security solution with comprehensive features is necessary over minimal dependency footprint
