Reviewer scorecard
“If you need billion-scale vector search, Milvus handles it. GPU indexing and distributed architecture set it apart.”
“Pythonic decorators for workflow orchestration. No DAGs to configure — just Python functions with retries and caching.”
“Massive complexity for most use cases. Unless you're operating at true scale, simpler alternatives are better.”
“Easier to learn than Airflow and the Python-native approach means less boilerplate. Good free cloud tier.”
“Purpose-built for the scale that enterprise AI will demand. The CNCF backing adds credibility.”
“Python-native orchestration is more natural for data teams. Prefect and Dagster represent the post-Airflow era.”
