Congratulations! I’m a fan of the publicity work and general out-of-the-box DX! That stuff matters a lot and I’m happy you’re aware.
I wonder: Are there any large general purpose agent harnesses developed using Mastra? From what I can tell OpenCode chose not to use it.
A lot of people on here repeat that rolling your own is more powerful than using Langchain or other frameworks and I wonder how Mastra relates to this sentiment.
When Langchain was the only option rolling your own made a lot of sense!
These days we see things going the other way, where teams that started rolling their own shift over to Mastra so they can focus on the agent vs having to maintain an internal framework.
The Latent Space article swyx linked earlier includes a quote from the Brex CTO talking about how they did that.
