Reviewer scorecard
“Step functions with automatic retries and state management. The event-driven model is perfect for complex workflows.”
“The fastest way to deploy a serverless function. Write TypeScript in the browser, get an instant URL. No config, no deploy step.”
“Durable execution without managing queues or state machines. The abstraction level is exactly right.”
“Brilliant for prototyping, webhooks, and small automations. The social aspect adds unexpected value — fork and remix.”
“Durable workflows are essential infrastructure for AI agents and complex async operations. Inngest is well-positioned.”
“Val Town is what serverless should have been — write code, it runs. The social coding model adds a new dimension.”
