Decision brief
Dify is a platform for creating agentic workflows and RAG pipelines, supporting various AI models and tools, deployable on cloud, VPC, or self-hosted environments.
Good fit when
- When you need a collaborative workspace that supports rich AI model and tool integration for agentic workflows and RAG pipelines.
- If your team requires a platform that can move from prototype to production without rebuilding the stack, supporting deployment on cloud, VPC, or self-hosted environments.
Avoid when
- If your project does not require agentic workflows or RAG pipelines, and you are looking for a more general-purpose AI development tool.
- When you need a platform that does not require Docker and Docker Compose for setup, as Dify's quick start guide assumes these prerequisites.
