When NOT to use dolt
Constraint-first guidance from category fit and live maintenance signals - not marketing copy.
- If a simple, monolithic relational database with no need for historical data versioning is sufficient, then `dolt` might introduce unnecessary complexity.
- Avoid using `dolt` if your primary requirement is real-time transaction processing without the overhead of maintaining multiple versions of your dataset.
