Very cool. Worth checking out a similar project Durable Functions. However those orchestrations can run in serverless and can scale to zero during the “waiting for other tasks” step. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-functions/durab... Disclaimer - product manager for Azure durable functions

I'd love to add Azure support but I'm not super familiar with it. Would be great to chat about it sometime.

Very interesting project, the problem with Serverless service provided by different public cloud vendors is that programming and API are not uniform. I think Faast.js is on the right path to creating a unified interface for different Serverless services.

Doesn't Serverless (the framework, not the concept) abstract this away? https://serverless.com/framework/docs/providers/ (not familiar enough with that framework to form an opinion one way or the other)
