When NOT to use argo-workflows
Constraint-first guidance from category fit and live maintenance signals - not marketing copy.
- In non-Kubernetes environments due to its tight integration with Kubernetes CRDs and native features
- For legacy system migrations that require significant VM and server-based overheads, as Argo Workflows is container-centric without such layers
