When NOT to use opik
Constraint-first guidance from category fit and live maintenance signals - not marketing copy.
- If you do not require comprehensive tracing and automated evaluations, and simpler monitoring tools suffice.
- When you prefer not to self-host and manage your own Opik server.
- If your project is not in Python and you do not want to use the Python SDK.
- When you need a tool that supports more languages or frameworks beyond Python.
