What is the roadmap for Azle to go live in production? #1808

Hi folks,

Really look forward to using Azle in production for support JavaScript / TypeScript on ICP.

Just wonder is there a roadmap or plan for Azle to go live in production?

Thanks and regards,

We are scoping this out right now. It's very nuanced on what this means, as there are many possibilities before considering Azle production ready entirely. Our estimate is 3-9 months depending on what we fit in.

The idea right now is to move forward in the next 3ish months with getting the core ICP APIs in Azle production-ready, and then introducing an experimental flag for everything else.

So short overly-simplistic and probably overly-optimistic answer: 3ish months

But also, though we don't recommend Azle generally for production, you are free to make your own decision. We have many many (100s) of integration tests, a good amount of people using Azle, and we almost never receive bug reports outside of the installation/build process. Obviously that doesn't mean it's safe for general-purpose use, but perhaps your use-case based on your own analysis and safe-guards could be okay, at your entire discretion.

Thanks @lastmjs for the clarifications, they help us estimate our side of work.

Regarding we don't recommend Azle generally for production, did you mean at current stage only? Or for other reasons?

Thanks and regards

Yes at the current stage, we aren't going to give a general recommendation for production use until we've accomplished the work that will make us feel comforting. Your use case and decision making process doesn't have to align with ours
