When NOT to use cherche
Constraint-first guidance from category fit and live maintenance signals - not marketing copy.
- Last GitHub push was 812 days ago (dormant maintenance, Jun 1, 2024). Validate activity before betting a new project on cherche.
- Data & Retrieval: Skip a heavy ingestion framework when your corpus is small and static; a script plus the embedding API is enough.
- Evaluation & Observability: Defer heavyweight eval infra only until you have real traffic - never skip it once users depend on answers.
- Vector Databases: Don't reach for a dedicated vector DB under ~100k vectors; pgvector on your existing Postgres is simpler to operate.

Head-to-head comparisons
Common questions
- What are the best alternatives to cherche?
- Graph-backed alternatives to cherche include bootcamp, aquila, awesome-ai-web-search, gerev, knowledge-gpt. GraphCanon ranks them by typed relationship edges and constraint overlap from decision_facts - not marketing votes or raw star sort.
- How does GraphCanon rank cherche alternatives?
- Direct alternative and successor edges from the knowledge graph come first, ordered by edge type and shared constraint facets (persona, runtime, hosting). Category neighbours fill the list only after curated edges. Stars are shown for context, not as the primary sort.
