Motia
Motia was an open-source, code-first backend framework designed to unify APIs, workflows, AI agents, and automations using a single 'Step' primitive. It focused on event-driven architecture and built-in observability. However, Motia is currently being deprecated, and its development is transitioning to iii.dev, which serves as its successor.
