When NOT to use brood-box
Constraint-first guidance from category fit and live maintenance signals - not marketing copy.
- In scenarios where lightweight or rapid setup is essential, as Brood-box involves setting up microVMs which can be resource-intensive and slow compared to non-isolated environments.
- If your use case requires cross-platform compatibility beyond what Go provides natively, since some competitors might offer better integration across different operating systems.
