Worth it if you actually build things
Migrated from a hand-rolled setup and cut my time-to-first-deploy in half. The docs assume you know what you want; that's fine for me, painful for people onboarding.
Pros
- Fast iteration loop — feedback in seconds
- Handles edge cases without hand-holding
Cons
- Occasional outages during peak hours
