Beyond Serverless: How Feature-Focused Platforms Streamline Your DX
summary
Compares four concrete platforms: Fermyon uses WebAssembly Spin CLI to go from cursor to deployed app in under two minutes; Dapr exposes component APIs for state/pub‑sub/actors and warns about the valley of doom when you save state then publish an event; Fly runs apps on a global bare‑metal network across 34 regions with managed Postgres and read‑only satellites; Kalix removes DBs and message buses from app code and runs an event‑driven system that produced a 10,000‑event visualization showing correct stock allocation and recovery.
