CORSYesUnknown

When to use which?

Abacus is the better choice for quick prototypes and hackathons since it requires no authentication. Abacus works directly from the browser with CORS enabled, making it better for frontend-only apps. Abacus supports HTTPS, which is required for production deployments and secure data handling.
