When NOT to use orloj
Constraint-first guidance from category fit and live maintenance signals - not marketing copy.
- If your multi-agent system does not benefit from the YAML-based orchestration model or if you require a non-Go runtime environment.
- When governance functionalities for your AI systems are less critical as Orloj's governance capabilities might be overkill for simpler applications.
