Choose ragtune if…
- License: ragtune is MIT, moby is Apache-2.0.
- Tags unique to ragtune: benchmarking, chroma, cli, developer-tools.
- Also covers Vector Databases.
When NOT to use ragtune
- Last GitHub push was 108 days ago (slowing maintenance, Mar 25, 2026). Validate activity before betting a new project on ragtune.
- Developer Tools: A gateway is overkill when you're pinned to a single provider and model.
- 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.
Choose moby if…
- License: moby is Apache-2.0, ragtune is MIT.
- Tags unique to moby: containers, docker, go, golang.
- Also covers Inference & Serving.
- moby ships Docker support for self-hosted deployment.
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.
