You can see durable execution as a combination of persistent state and queues (simplified example). With regular queues, the state is spread across many places from messages, runtime and external storages where the primary value is the reli

Yup, I definitely faced multiple loops or "blocked" scenarios when iterating on the prompt and tools. The most obvious one is when the Agent generates a terminal command that requires some interactivity (ex: "confirm to ...&q

Not the version featured in the blog post, but adding a MCP server like Stagehand could enable it to search on the web!

1. Yes, we currently provide a simple approach to retries but are already working on providing features for idempotency. 2. All sensitive data (tokens, env vars) are encrypted on our side, however, we don't prevent users to print their

It is actually comparable to both. We aim to provide a similar feature set as Sidekiq (throttling, unique jobs) but with a complete hosted solution. While Defer and Temporal can both be used for writing background jobs, workflows, and CRONs

When deployed in non-local environments, background functions get executed on our infrastructure with their (securely stored) arguments, spawn in a dedicated isolated temporary container. For our users concerned about data locality, we reco

Here’s how our Builder works: When a commit is pushed, we fetch your application’s repository from GitHub and compile (if TypeScript) all the files in the first `defer/` folder found. Then, we require each of those files to retrieve th

I agree with you, as mentioned in the article, I’ve built similar solutions as yours at Algolia, using Redis and Kubernetes. However, not all developers know and want to do Kubernetes or RabbitMQ and not all companies can afford to invest t

Sure! We got our first customers from both channels: network (sales) and inbound (twitter discussions, etc). I agree that top-down is not working well for a newcomers but getting better at a later stage.

Sure, please note that was referring to “modern development standards” in the Node.js ecosystem. Node.js, with the flexibility of the JavaScript language, allowed the rise of great abstraction and other domain-oriented API designs, a bit li

We primarily focus on helping Node.js developers to build products without investing time in infrastructure while keeping it configurable. As @thdxr mentioned, our goal is also to provide top-notch queueing/scheduling features that are

Thank you! Right now, you will need to ensure that your background functions are idempotent but we plan to introduce an API for “retried execution” so you can clean up. Also, by default retry is an opt-in configuration option to avoid any u

The Builder part is clearly a differentiator; however, background functions are different from Serverless functions on many points - on top of being natively integrated with our Scheduler. First, they allow a maximum execution time comparab
