Reviewer scorecard
“Instant GraphQL API from a schema definition. Edge deployment and federation are well-designed.”
“Step functions with automatic retries and state management. The event-driven model is perfect for complex workflows.”
“GraphQL is losing mindshare to tRPC and REST. Building a platform around GraphQL is a risky bet.”
“Durable execution without managing queues or state machines. The abstraction level is exactly right.”
“Edge-first GraphQL with AI gateway is an interesting combination. The gateway approach could be the differentiator.”
“Durable workflows are essential infrastructure for AI agents and complex async operations. Inngest is well-positioned.”
