Best in category for what I need
Good defaults, sensible primitives, opinionated in the right ways. Would recommend to any founder who wants to ship this quarter, not next.
Pros
- Fast iteration loop — feedback in seconds
- Handles edge cases without hand-holding
Cons
- Occasional outages during peak hours

Pros
- Sensible defaults out of the box
- Pricing scales gracefully with usage
Cons
- Learning curve for advanced features
