Reviewer scorecard
“Typed errors and dependency injection for TypeScript done right. The platform modules (HTTP, Schema, SQL) are production-grade.”
“CI/CD in the same place as your code. The marketplace has an action for everything. Matrix builds are powerful.”
“Steep learning curve and the functional programming style isn't for everyone. The benefits are real but the adoption cost is high.”
“YAML debugging is painful but the GitHub integration and free tier for open source make it the default choice.”
“Effect brings Scala/Haskell-level reliability to TypeScript. As TypeScript applications grow in complexity, Effect becomes more valuable.”
“CI/CD integrated with the code platform is the right architecture. GitHub Actions is becoming the standard.”
