Decision brief

Haystack is an open-source AI orchestration framework for building context-engineered LLM applications.

Good fit when

  • You need explicit control over retrieval, routing, memory, and generation within your LLM application pipelines.
  • Your project requires support for scalable agents, RAG (Retrieval Augmented Generation), and multimodal applications.

Avoid when

  • You require integration with specific proprietary tools or frameworks not supported by Haystack.
  • Your development team is not familiar with Python-based technologies, since Haystack primarily supports Python-based workflows.
Pricing:
freemium - Free and open-source under the Apache-2.0 license, but users have to manage their own infrastructure and resources.
Requirements:
Min 4 GB RAM; Requires Docker
