## Choose when

### Choose moby if…

- moby is primarily Go; ai-reliability-copilot is TypeScript.
- Tags unique to moby: containers, docker, go, golang.
- Also covers Inference & Serving.
- moby ships Docker support for self-hosted deployment.

### Choose ai-reliability-copilot if…

- ai-reliability-copilot is primarily TypeScript; moby is Go.
- Tags unique to ai-reliability-copilot: ai-sdk, deepseek, incident-response, llm.
- Also covers Vector Databases.
- ai-reliability-copilot ships an MCP server manifest.

## 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.

## When NOT to use ai-reliability-copilot

- 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.
