Questions
- What is the difference between Chili and Split?
- Chili and Split both sit in experiments, but they solve different parts of it.
- Can I mount both Chili and Split in the same Rails app?
- Technically yes — engines mount at different paths — but they overlap, so running both usually means two sets of tables doing one job. Pick one.
