## Choose when

### Choose JeecgBoot if…

- JeecgBoot is primarily Java; PocketFlow is Python.
- License: JeecgBoot is Apache-2.0, PocketFlow is Other.
- Tags unique to JeecgBoot: ai skills, codegenerator, mybatis plus, spring boot.
- Also covers Developer Tools.
- JeecgBoot ships Docker support for self-hosted deployment.
- - 当项目涉及大量的重复工作时，如Java项目的表单设计和报表生成，可以显著提高效率。

### Choose PocketFlow if…

- PocketFlow is primarily Python; JeecgBoot is Java.
- License: PocketFlow is Other, JeecgBoot is Apache-2.0.
- Tags unique to PocketFlow: automl, computer-vision, deep-learning, mobile-app.
- Also covers Vector Databases.

## When NOT to use JeecgBoot

- - 如果项目需要高度定制化的设计与开发，尤其是涉及复杂业务逻辑时，JeecgBoot可能无法完全满足需求。
- - 对于对Java和技术栈如Spring Boot, MyBatis Plus有特定限制或偏好其他技术栈的团队来说，JeecgBoot不适合采用。

## When NOT to use PocketFlow

- Last GitHub push was 1198 days ago (dormant maintenance, Mar 31, 2023). Validate activity before betting a new project on PocketFlow.
- Inference & Serving: Self-hosting rarely beats a hosted API on cost until you have steady, high-volume traffic.
- Model Training: Try prompting and RAG first; fine-tuning is the answer to style/format, not missing knowledge.
- Vector Databases: Don't reach for a dedicated vector DB under ~100k vectors; pgvector on your existing Postgres is simpler to operate.
