Problem
Building reliable workflows often requires managing complex infrastructure for job orchestration, error handling, and state management. Developers must configure queues, workers, and concurrency, diverting focus from core code development.
Solution
Inngest is a developer platform that simplifies the creation of reliable workflows by providing SDKs and APIs for durable execution and flow control. The platform abstracts away the complexities of infrastructure management, allowing developers to focus on writing code. Inngest enables the creation of step functions within existing codebases, offering features like multi-tenant concurrency, throttling, batching, and scheduling. Functions can run on serverless platforms, servers, or edge environments, providing flexibility in deployment.
Target Audience
Inngest targets modern engineering teams and developers building scalable systems who want to reduce overhead and increase confidence in their deployments.
Features
- SDK primitives for writing code that automatically retries on error, runs in parallel, sleeps, or waits for input.
- Built-in flow control for throttling, multi-tenant concurrency, prioritization, and rate limiting.
- Step orchestration for creating complex pipelines with automatic state management.
- Batching capabilities to coalesce multiple requests into a single function run.
- Support for pausing functions to wait for additional input or events.
- Scheduling functions for future execution using dates or cron expressions.
- Declarative cancellation to automatically cancel functions based on events.
- Open-source Dev Server for local development with a UI for testing and debugging.
- Observability tools for monitoring function and system health, including traces and metrics.
- Bulk function replay for recovering from failures.
