## When NOT to use invariant-gateway

- Last GitHub push was 251 days ago (slowing maintenance, Nov 6, 2025). Validate activity before betting a new project on invariant-gateway.
- AI Agents: Don't use an agent loop when a deterministic workflow would do; agents add latency, cost, and non-determinism.
- LLM Frameworks: Avoid a framework for a single prompt-and-retrieve call; the abstraction can cost more than it saves.

## Common questions

### What are the best alternatives to invariant-gateway?

Graph-backed alternatives to invariant-gateway include AutoGPT, hello-agents, langchain, Prompt-Engineering-Guide, TradingAgents. GraphCanon ranks them by typed relationship edges and constraint overlap from decision_facts - not marketing votes or raw star sort.

### How does GraphCanon rank invariant-gateway alternatives?

Direct alternative and successor edges from the knowledge graph come first, ordered by edge type and shared constraint facets (persona, runtime, hosting). Category neighbours fill the list only after curated edges. Stars are shown for context, not as the primary sort.

### When should I avoid invariant-gateway?

Last GitHub push was 251 days ago (slowing maintenance, Nov 6, 2025). Validate activity before betting a new project on invariant-gateway. AI Agents: Don't use an agent loop when a deterministic workflow would do; agents add latency, cost, and non-determinism. LLM Frameworks: Avoid a framework for a single prompt-and-retrieve call; the abstraction can cost more than it saves.

### Is invariant-gateway open source?

Yes. invariant-gateway is an open-source project on GitHub under the Apache-2.0 license, with 76 stars.

### What is invariant-gateway used for?
