## When NOT to use reaflow

- Last GitHub push was 406 days ago (dormant maintenance, Jun 4, 2025). Validate activity before betting a new project on reaflow.
- LLM Frameworks: Avoid a framework for a single prompt-and-retrieve call; the abstraction can cost more than it saves.
- Vector Databases: Don't reach for a dedicated vector DB under ~100k vectors; pgvector on your existing Postgres is simpler to operate.
