## Choose when

### Choose vector-db-benchmark if…

- vector-db-benchmark is primarily Python; WeKnora is Go.
- License: vector-db-benchmark is Apache-2.0, WeKnora is Other.
- Tags unique to vector-db-benchmark: vector-search-engine, vector-database, benchmark, python.

### Choose WeKnora if…

- WeKnora is primarily Go; vector-db-benchmark is Python.
- License: WeKnora is Other, vector-db-benchmark is Apache-2.0.
- Pricing: Free and open-source under the MIT license..
- Tags unique to WeKnora: evaluation, embeddings, ai, generative-ai.
- Also covers AI Agents, LLM Frameworks.
- WeKnora ships Docker support for self-hosted deployment.
- Use WeKnora if you prefer the Go (Golang) language ecosystem.

## When NOT to use vector-db-benchmark

- Vector Databases: Don't reach for a dedicated vector DB under ~100k vectors; pgvector on your existing Postgres is simpler to operate.
- Evaluation & Observability: Defer heavyweight eval infra only until you have real traffic - never skip it once users depend on answers.

## When NOT to use WeKnora

- Avoid WeKnora if your team's primary expertise is not in Go (Golang).
- If you require real-time updates that are more seamlessly integrated with external systems, as WeKnora focuses on internal maintenance processes.
- WeKnora might not be the best fit if your specific needs require proprietary licensing or access to features beyond its MIT License.
