Choose kubeai if…
- Tags unique to kubeai: ai, autoscaler, faster-whisper, inference-operator.
- Also covers Speech & Audio.
- - When you need to operate vLLM and Ollama servers for LLM inferencing
When NOT to use kubeai
- - When your setup requires non-standard Kubernetes services that mandate the use of Istio or similar dependency injection systems
- - If you're working in a constrained environment where zero-dependency is not desirable due to specific requirements for extended observability tools like Prometheus
Choose moby if…
- Tags unique to moby: containers, docker, go, golang.
- Also covers Developer Tools.
- More GitHub stars (72k vs 1.2k) - visibility, not fit.
When NOT to use moby
- Developer Tools: A gateway is overkill when you're pinned to a single provider and model.
- Inference & Serving: Self-hosting rarely beats a hosted API on cost until you have steady, high-volume traffic.
- LLM Frameworks: Avoid a framework for a single prompt-and-retrieve call; the abstraction can cost more than it saves.
