When NOT to use farfalle
Constraint-first guidance from category fit and live maintenance signals - not marketing copy.
- If your project strictly requires low-code or no-code solutions, as Farfalle demands a more technical setup including modifying environment files and API configurations.
- In environments where a search engine needs to be up and running with minimal configuration time, since setting up Farfalle involves custom setup steps documented in separate instructions.
