Pros and Cons
Pros
Purpose-built for reliably running long-running tasks that typical serverless functions cannot handle well
Built-in retry logic reduces the custom error-handling code developers would otherwise need to write
TypeScript-native design fits naturally into modern web development stacks
Both self-hosted and managed options provide deployment flexibility
Cons
Adds infrastructure complexity compared to simple, synchronous function calls
Managed cloud pricing scales with usage volume
Self-hosting requires managing your own infrastructure
Best suited to applications that genuinely need reliable background processing, unnecessary for simple use cases
