Choose awesome-mlops if…
- Tags unique to awesome-mlops: engineering, data-science, ml, ai.
- Also covers Vector Databases.
- Leaner open-issue backlog (42).
When NOT to use awesome-mlops
- Last GitHub push was 597 days ago (dormant maintenance, Nov 21, 2024). Validate activity before betting a new project on awesome-mlops.
- Vector Databases: Don't reach for a dedicated vector DB under ~100k vectors; pgvector on your existing Postgres is simpler to operate.
- Model Training: Try prompting and RAG first; fine-tuning is the answer to style/format, not missing knowledge.
- Inference & Serving: Self-hosting rarely beats a hosted API on cost until you have steady, high-volume traffic.
