## Choose when

### Choose nndeploy if…

- nndeploy is primarily C++; fastDeploy is Python.
- License: nndeploy is Apache-2.0, fastDeploy is MIT.
- Tags unique to nndeploy: ai, ascend, deployment, diffusers.
- Also covers Developer Tools.
- If you need a tool that supports both Python and C++ custom nodes, integrating well into visual workflow design.

### Choose fastDeploy if…

- fastDeploy is primarily Python; nndeploy is C++.
- License: fastDeploy is MIT, nndeploy is Apache-2.0.
- Pricing: -.
- Requirements: - Python is required for running fastDeploy.; - Docker installation is suggested but not mandatory..
- Tags unique to fastDeploy: docker, falcon, gevent, gunicorn.
- When you aim to streamline the deployment of TensorFlow Serving, TorchServe, and Triton Inference Server models without extensive coding.

## When NOT to use nndeploy

- Do not use if your project only requires low-level access to hardware without the need for a high-level interface like nndeploy offers.
- If you're working exclusively on platforms or frameworks unsupported by nndeploy, such as certain proprietary or non-mainstream inference engines.

## When NOT to use fastDeploy

- Avoid if you are looking for a solution that supports real-time interactive deployments requiring advanced websocket handling beyond fastDeploy's basic capability.
- Not recommended when the project requires heavy customization of deployment scripts, as it emphasizes minimal coding and may restrict flexibility in pipeline configurations.
