Inngest can trigger actions in the background. It lets developers run these tasks without worrying about servers or infrastructure. This makes apps faster, more reliable, and easier to manage. People use it for things like notifications, data processing, and connecting different apps together.
Inngest uses a usage-based pricing model with tiered plans:
Event‑driven, durable workflows without infra headaches
Great DX: local dev server, step‑level debugging
Built‑in retries, timeouts, versioning, rollbacks
Scales to heavy workloads, 100K+ execs per second
Strong for AI agents and long‑running workflows
Fewer plug‑and‑play app integrations than Make/Zapier
Best suited to developers, not business users
