When NOT to use aqueduct
Constraint-first guidance from category fit and live maintenance signals - not marketing copy.
- Avoid if active project maintenance or community support is required as Aqueduct is no longer maintained.
- Skip this tool for new projects focusing on state-of-the-art ML orchestration, opting instead for actively supported alternatives.
