When NOT to use kong

Constraint-first guidance from category fit and live maintenance signals - not marketing copy.

  • LLM Frameworks: Avoid a framework for a single prompt-and-retrieve call; the abstraction can cost more than it saves.
  • Developer Tools: A gateway is overkill when you're pinned to a single provider and model.
