You only hide it for as long as things go smoothly. When a thing breaks then ur hosed. Having seen people try to self host cadence/temporal (not super easy) this makes me skeptical.
My thoughts as well.. Libraries where the only reason to exist is 'hide this other complex library in the cupboard so you don't have to learn it' almost never achieve that goal, and are generally harmful to net complexity imho.
Hiding is actually not the main thing here. AK allows you to "deploy in a click" instead of deploying the actual workers. We also provide integrations with built in authentication for external services such as Slack, JIRA, etc.
I am sorry i dont understand, what exactly does this library do? Is it a competitor to rapidAPI that lets you quickly integrate APIs in your python app
Hey, author here. We love durable functions and the ease it provides for building stuff. We provide an OSS as well as SaaS "serverless" platform to easily get started with durable functions using vanilla python.

In previous life I've been self hosting Cadence and it worked quite well. We then moved to Temporal cloud which was even easier.
That said, if you use autokitteh.cloud, you don't need to worry about Temporal as we're doing all that management behind the scenes.
What is so hard about self-hosting Cadence or Temporal?

hi - this is not a library. this is a platform that you upload vanilla python code to it and it makes it run in a durable manner.

take a look at https://github.com/conductor-sdk/conductor-python which is easier and will not force you to write with specific framework.

Please take a look as well at https://github.com/autokitteh/kittehub which is full of examples. Also you can use https://autokitteh.cloud for free with some limits.
