Inngest

Durable workflow engine for modern applications

FreemiumFree TierFeaturedAdded Jan 1, 2022

About

Inngest is a workflow engine that lets developers build reliable background jobs, scheduled tasks, and event-driven workflows with simple TypeScript/JavaScript functions. It handles retries, concurrency control, step functions, and durable execution. Deploy functions to any platform (Vercel, AWS, etc.) and Inngest orchestrates them reliably. No queues or infrastructure to manage. The developer experience is remarkable — write async logic as simple code and Inngest makes it durable.

Origin Story

By Tony Holdstock-Brown

The Problem

Background jobs need queues, retry logic, and orchestration — all complex infrastructure.

Building It

Founded 2022, YC-backed. Growing rapidly among TypeScript/Next.js developers.

What It Means

Workflow orchestration should be a function call, not infrastructure.

The Dream

Make every background process reliable without managing queues.
