Reviewer scorecard
“Step functions with automatic retries and state management. The event-driven model is perfect for complex workflows.”
“Best E2E testing framework. Auto-wait, trace viewer, and codegen eliminate the biggest pain points of browser testing.”
“Durable execution without managing queues or state machines. The abstraction level is exactly right.”
“Replaced Cypress in most serious projects. Multi-browser support and the trace viewer are genuine advantages.”
“Durable workflows are essential infrastructure for AI agents and complex async operations. Inngest is well-positioned.”
“Playwright is becoming the standard for browser automation beyond testing — AI agents, scraping, and verification.”
