When NOT to use dagster
Constraint-first guidance from category fit and live maintenance signals - not marketing copy.
- AI Agents: Don't use an agent loop when a deterministic workflow would do; agents add latency, cost, and non-determinism.
- Data & Retrieval: Skip a heavy ingestion framework when your corpus is small and static; a script plus the embedding API is enough.
- Developer Tools: A gateway is overkill when you're pinned to a single provider and model.
