When NOT to use typesense
Constraint-first guidance from category fit and live maintenance signals - not marketing copy.
- If the project is working with a smaller dataset where setting up an additional service could be overkill and simplicity outweighs high performance.
- When the team prefers not to use GPL-3.0 licensed software, as this may pose limitations or requirements on how the code can be used or distributed.
- In projects requiring complex vector search functionalities that might need more than what Typesense offers in its current feature set.
