Console’s review

· Reviewed by David Mytton

What we like

Write event-based background tasks in TypeScript to be triggered by webhooks, custom events, or scheduled. Supports delays, run once, trigger via a separate SDK. Runs as a Node process inside your infra so can connect to private resources. Integrates with Slack, GitHub, Notion. Partly open source.

Tradeoffs

You run the workflow code yourself, but triggers are via their SaaS platform which can’t (currently) be self-hosted. Workflows can’t yet be run on serverless platforms like Lambda or Vercel.
