Reviewer scorecard
“Step functions with automatic retries and state management. The event-driven model is perfect for complex workflows.”
“Build admin panels in hours instead of weeks. SQL queries, API connections, and components just work together.”
“Durable execution without managing queues or state machines. The abstraction level is exactly right.”
“For internal tools that don't need to be beautiful, Retool eliminates weeks of dev time. Genuinely useful.”
“Durable workflows are essential infrastructure for AI agents and complex async operations. Inngest is well-positioned.”
“AI-generated internal tools will commoditize this space, but Retool's head start and enterprise adoption provide a moat.”
