What it does

Build event-driven durable background jobs serverless

Best for

When implementing serverless background jobs and durable multi-step workflows without queue infrastructure

Inputs
  • · Event schema, step definitions, concurrency limits, retry policy
Outputs
  • · Inngest function, deployed to Vercel/Netlify/Fly/Railway
Requires
  • · Inngest CLI (inngest-cli)
  • · HTTP-compatible runtime (Next.js, Express, Hono, Remix, SvelteKit)
  • · Vercel or Cloudflare or Netlify or Railway or Fly.io
Preconditions
  • · Runtime HTTP framework installed
  • · Inngest account and API key
  • · Functions have unique IDs
Failure modes
  • · Function not registered with serve()
  • · Event not defined in schema
  • · Concurrency limit hit without backoff
  • · Idempotency key collision
  • · Fan-out event race condition
  • · Sleep duration syntax error (must use strings like '24h', '15m')
Trust signals
  • · Step results durably stored
  • · Built-in exponential backoff on retries
  • · Concurrency as first-class concern (with limits)
  • · Idempotency keys prevent duplicates
  • · Sleep is non-blocking (not polling)
  • · Fan-out pattern with step.sendEvent()
