Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

CloudAMQP

  • Free tier messaging limits are low: 1-2M messages/month
  • Free tier connection limits are restrictive: 20-40
  • Multi-tenant plans have queue limits (200-2,000 max)
  • Dedicated plans expensive at scale: up to $14,995-$17,495/month
  • Extra disk space add-on at $0.35/month per GB may add significant cost

Sourcegraph

  • Enterprise pricing starting at $16k annually creates significant barrier for small teams
  • No free tier or standard plan published; all options require custom sales engagement
  • Complex enterprise-only positioning limits adoption compared to GitHub Copilot's pervasiveness
  • Requires indexing entire codebase; not suitable for small or ephemeral projects
