### What we like

Deploy functions, durable actors, and containers. Durable actors can be rescheduled with graceful shutdowns. Actors can be written in JS, Python, Rust, and support storing state in a k/v style datastore, or external SQL e.g. Postgres. Networking e.g URLs and port mapping handled for you. Can run everything locally.

### Tradeoffs

In theory you can self-host rather than using their cloud platform, but the docs only cover setting up dev environments rather than production.
