## Choose when

### Choose DBreeze if…

- DBreeze is primarily C#; claude-context is TypeScript.
- License: DBreeze is BSD-2-Clause, claude-context is MIT.
- Pricing: The BSD-2-Clause license under which DBreeze is released allows free usage, but there may be options for paid support or enhanced services not detailed here..
- Tags unique to DBreeze: acid, c-sharp, clustering, database.
- When developing applications in the C# .NET environment requiring robust, transactional (ACID) support.

### Choose claude-context if…

- claude-context is primarily TypeScript; DBreeze is C#.
- License: claude-context is MIT, DBreeze is BSD-2-Clause.
- Tags unique to claude-context: agent, agentic-rag, ai-coding, claude-code.
- Also covers AI Agents.
- When you need to leverage your entire codebase’s context for more accurate and relevant code completion or generation tasks with Claude Code.

## When NOT to use DBreeze

- If the project demands real-time scalability and distribution capabilities beyond what an embedded database can offer
- In cases where Python, Java, or other non-.NET languages are preferred or required for development.
- For environments that need a wider range of external connectivity as DBreeze specializes in embedded use.

## When NOT to use claude-context

- If your project requires minimizing resource usage since integrating a large codebase as context can be computationally expensive.
- When working on small, simple projects that do not benefit significantly from full-context AI analysis, as it might overcomplicate the setup.
