Reviewer scorecard
“Step functions with automatic retries and state management. The event-driven model is perfect for complex workflows.”
“Still the most used JS testing framework. Massive ecosystem of matchers, plugins, and documentation.”
“Durable execution without managing queues or state machines. The abstraction level is exactly right.”
“Vitest does everything Jest does faster with better ESM support. New projects should start with Vitest.”
“Durable workflows are essential infrastructure for AI agents and complex async operations. Inngest is well-positioned.”
“Jest defined modern JS testing but Vitest is the future. The migration is happening steadily.”
