When NOT to use great_expectations
Constraint-first guidance from category fit and live maintenance signals - not marketing copy.
- If your project is not in Python or if you are working with Python versions earlier than 3.10 or later than 3.13 without enabling experimental support.
- When your team prefers a more manual approach to data quality testing and documentation, as GX Core emphasizes automated and collaborative processes.
- If your data quality needs are simple and do not require the extensive documentation and testing capabilities provided by GX Core.
- For projects that require real-time data quality monitoring and alerting, as GX Core focuses more on batch processing and documentation rather than real-time monitoring.
