Reasons for new projects to use gargoyle instead of gutter?

Open rightaway opened this issue 11 years ago • 1 comments

If we've never used gargoyle or gutter on any projects before and would like to use one on a new project, should we definitely use gutter? Or are there any features or functionality or any advantages to using gargoyle over gutter?

Gutter is the system that the maintainers are currently investing their time into.

a quick comparison:

  • Gutter is roughly feature complete with Gargoyle. (I have not done a line by line comparison)
  • Gutter is faster when using redis, or zookeeper.
  • Gutter works in any python application.

Those are reasons to use Gutter, the reasons against it are mainly it is newer and probably has some bugs.

  • Gutter is newer and has fewer users. This being said Disqus uses it in production at scale.
  • Gutter is a little harder to set up.
