Choose moby if…
- moby is primarily Go; langkit is Jupyter Notebook.
- Tags unique to moby: go, docker, golang, containers.
- Also covers Inference & Serving.
- 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 langkit if…
- langkit is primarily Jupyter Notebook; moby is Go.
- Tags unique to langkit: prompt-injection, nlp, machine-learning, observability.
- Also covers Evaluation & Observability.
When NOT to use langkit
- Last GitHub push was 596 days ago (dormant maintenance, Nov 22, 2024). Validate activity before betting a new project on langkit.
- LLM Frameworks: Avoid a framework for a single prompt-and-retrieve call; the abstraction can cost more than it saves.
- Evaluation & Observability: Defer heavyweight eval infra only until you have real traffic - never skip it once users depend on answers.
- Developer Tools: A gateway is overkill when you're pinned to a single provider and model.
