When NOT to use gateway

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

  • Avoid if the project does not involve production-grade AI application deployment or specific needs of grpc and protobuf technologies.
  • Not suitable for teams preferring other programming languages over Go, as this tool is written entirely in Go.
