Inngest is a queuing and orchestration platform designed for modern software teams. It offers durable functions that replace traditional queues, state management, and scheduling, allowing developers to build reliable, multi-step code more efficiently.
Key features include:
- Durable Execution: SDK primitives enable automatic retries on errors, parallel execution, and long-duration sleeps.
- Flow Control: Tools for throttling, concurrency control, prioritization, and rate limiting.
- Local Development: An open-source Dev Server for local testing and debugging.
- Observability: Tracing and metrics for monitoring and debugging function executions.
- Flexibility: Supports multiple languages (TypeScript, Python, Go) and deployment platforms (serverless, servers, edge).
Use cases include AI workflows, background jobs, and scheduled tasks.
