When NOT to use LLM-Engineers-Handbook
Constraint-first guidance from category fit and live maintenance signals - not marketing copy.
- - If your project is not hosted on AWS, as this tool heavily integrates with AWS services like SageMaker, ECR, and S3, making it less suitable for non-AWS cloud providers.
- - You do not want to manage dependencies via Poetry. The guide assumes you are comfortable working within a Poetry-managed environment.
