Choose moby if…
- moby is primarily Go; RuVector is Rust.
- License: moby is Apache-2.0, RuVector is MIT.
- Tags unique to moby: go, docker, golang, containers.
- Also covers Developer Tools.
- moby ships Docker support for self-hosted deployment.
When NOT to use moby
- LLM Frameworks: Avoid a framework for a single prompt-and-retrieve call; the abstraction can cost more than it saves.
- 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.
Choose RuVector if…
- RuVector is primarily Rust; moby is Go.
- License: RuVector is MIT, moby is Apache-2.0.
- Tags unique to RuVector: gnns, gnn, ai, graph-neural-networks.
- Also covers Vector Databases.
When NOT to use RuVector
- 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.
- Inference & Serving: Self-hosting rarely beats a hosted API on cost until you have steady, high-volume traffic.
