Self-Hosted Inngest on macOS

This skill sets up Inngest as a self-hosted durable workflow engine on a Mac. Inngest gives you event-driven functions where each step retries independently — if step 3 of 5 fails, only step 3 retries.

Before You Start

Required:

• macOS with Docker (Docker Desktop, OrbStack, or Colima)
• Bun or Node.js for the worker process

Optional:

• k8s cluster (Talos on Colima, etc.) for persistent deployment
• Redis (for state sharing between functions and gateway integration)

Intent Alignment

Ask the user these questions to determine scope.
