When NOT to use faraday
Constraint-first guidance from category fit and live maintenance signals - not marketing copy.
- When existing integrations with other security tools are a strict requirement that Faraday does not support directly.
- In environments where the licensing must be permissive, and GPL-3.0 is not an acceptable license.
