Introduction
Inngest is a durable workflow orchestration platform with 5,200+ GitHub stars. Replace queues, state management, and scheduling with durable step functions — automatic retries and state persistence. Perfect for AI workflows where every step (extract → process → save) must execute reliably. Supports TypeScript, Python, and Go SDKs.
Inngest — Reliable AI Workflows
Core Concepts
- Durable functions — survive failures and restarts
- Independent steps — each step retries independently; completed steps aren't re-run
- Event-driven — events trigger workflows
- Flow control — concurrency, throttling, debouncing, rate limiting
FAQ
Q: What is Inngest? A: A durable workflow orchestration platform — write reliable step functions with automatic retries and state persistence.
Q: How does it differ from n8n? A: Inngest is code-first (not visual), simpler than Temporal, and uses step.run() to write ordinary functions.
