Console’s review

· Reviewed by David Mytton

What we like

Write functions in Python, TS, Go, Bash, or a Docker image and have them executed based on triggers (schedules, via a UI, webhooks, CLI, Slack). Supports step function flows with branching, loops, and error handling. Web IDE, local dev CLI, secrets, state & dependency management. Cloud or self-hosted.

Tradeoffs

Limited ability to scale past 100 parallel workers. Has a higher cold start latency than other serverless worker platforms e.g. AWS Lambda.
