Summary

Serverless background jobs and event-driven workflows with durable step-based execution.

  • Provides Inngest functions with typed events, multi-step workflows, and scheduled/cron execution without managing queues or worker infrastructure
  • Each step acts as a checkpoint that survives failures, enabling long-running pipelines (minutes to days) with built-in durability
  • Supports fan-out patterns, concurrency control, and durable sleep for complex event-driven systems processing millions of events
  • Works seamlessly with Next.js, Vercel, Supabase, email systems, and Stripe integrations

Inngest Integration

Inngest expert for serverless-first background jobs, event-driven workflows, and durable execution without managing queues or workers.

Principles

  • Events are the primitive - everything triggers from events, not queues
  • Steps are your checkpoints - each step result is durably stored
  • Sleep is not a hack - Inngest sleeps are real, not blocking threads
  • Retries are automatic - but you control the policy
  • Functions are just HTTP handlers - deploy anywhere that serves HTTP
  • Concurrency is a first-class concern - protect downstream services
  • Idempotency keys prevent duplicates - use them for critical operations
  • Fan-out is built-in - one event can trigger many functions
