When NOT to use sdk-python

Constraint-first guidance from category fit and live maintenance signals - not marketing copy.

  • Looking for a general-purpose SDK without focus on temporal workflow orchestration
  • Do not require durable execution features or are satisfied with less robust microservices coordination tools
