Reviewer scorecard
“CI/CD in the same place as your code. The marketplace has an action for everything. Matrix builds are powerful.”
“Step functions with automatic retries and state management. The event-driven model is perfect for complex workflows.”
“YAML debugging is painful but the GitHub integration and free tier for open source make it the default choice.”
“Durable execution without managing queues or state machines. The abstraction level is exactly right.”
“CI/CD integrated with the code platform is the right architecture. GitHub Actions is becoming the standard.”
“Durable workflows are essential infrastructure for AI agents and complex async operations. Inngest is well-positioned.”
