When NOT to use lakeFS
Constraint-first guidance from category fit and live maintenance signals - not marketing copy.
- If your use case involves managing small files or datasets that do not benefit from a Git-like history for data changes due to overhead.
- For situations where compliance requirements preclude open-source solutions or those under the Apache 2.0 license, as lakeFS may not meet these specific needs.
