Inngest

Inngest makes background jobs reliable by default. Instead of hoping your functions complete, Inngest guarantees execution with automatic retries, step functions, and durable state—even across failures and deployments.

Key Features:

• Durable Functions - Steps that survive failures and restarts
• Automatic Retries - Configurable retry policies for resilience
• Event-driven - Trigger functions from any event source
• Step Functions - Break long tasks into reliable steps

Why Inngest:

• Deploy Anywhere - Works with any hosting platform
• No Infrastructure - No queues or workers to manage
• TypeScript Native - Full type safety and great DX
• Local Development - Full dev server for testing

Inngest capabilities:

• Scheduling - Cron-like scheduling for functions
• Concurrency Control - Limit parallel executions
• Flow Control - Debounce, throttle, and prioritize
• Observability - See every function run with full traces

Inngest is ideal for serverless environments where traditional job queues don't fit. The durable execution model means you can write complex workflows knowing they'll complete even if individual steps fail or your infrastructure restarts.
