Disappointed by the NodeJS-only requirement and the 128 req/env/sec ceiling.
NodeJS-only feels very pre-AI. Let me tell my agent to write my web service in Rust/C++/C/Go/Zig, and ship a statically-linked single binary that fits within a maximum binary size ceiling. I'd get much better performance, and make much more of the premium CPU/RAM pricing that I'm being asked to pay in exchange for scale-to-zero and fast autoscaling.
The rest is amazing. First-class support as a CloudFront origin. Easy multi-region and gradual deployment. Clearly, finally, a great response to Cloudflare. Just.... so close, and yet, so far. No way am I going back to Node as a web backend for greenfield projects in 2026.
