When NOT to use process-compose
Constraint-first guidance from category fit and live maintenance signals - not marketing copy.
- Avoid using Process Compose if you require containerization for your applications, as it does not support Docker's features like isolation and resource allocation.
- Not suitable when the preferred orchestration framework is one that supports containers natively, such as Kubernetes or Docker Swarm.
