When NOT to use DBreeze
Constraint-first guidance from category fit and live maintenance signals - not marketing copy.
- If the project demands real-time scalability and distribution capabilities beyond what an embedded database can offer
- In cases where Python, Java, or other non-.NET languages are preferred or required for development.
- For environments that need a wider range of external connectivity as DBreeze specializes in embedded use.
