When NOT to use paradedb
Constraint-first guidance from category fit and live maintenance signals - not marketing copy.
- Avoid using ParadeDB if your project strictly adheres to permissive licensing, as it is under AGPL-3.0 which imposes copyleft obligations.
- Do not opt for ParadeDB when you specifically require a standalone full-text search solution like Elasticsearch that offers more specialized features out-of-the-box.
- It may not be the best choice if your use case demands real-time processing of extremely high-speed data streams beyond its HTAP capabilities.
