Inngest

AI and backend workflows, orchestrated at any scale
3.8 (26 Reviews)

Inngest Overview

Inngest combines an event stream, queues, and durable execution into a single reliability layer for applications. Functions trigger from events sent via SDK, API, or webhook, with support for global resource concurrency, throttling, and prioritization. Durable execution handles retries, sleeps, pauses, fan-out, and cancellation. Workflows run on serverless platforms or any cloud provider. Observability includes metrics, monitoring, logging, and tracing. AI-specific tools like step.ai.infer and step.ai.wrap add observability to model calls. AgentKit supports development of complex AI workflows.
