When NOT to use korvus
Constraint-first guidance from category fit and live maintenance signals - not marketing copy.
- You seek a solution that operates beyond the Postgres ecosystem, as Korvus specifically integrates with this type of database.
- If your project necessitates highly specialized RAG implementations without leveraging existing databases for retrieval tasks.
