What Inngest does
Inngest is a durable execution platform that lets developers orchestrate AI and backend workflows at any scale, making code durable by default. It enables reliable workflows, AI agents, and background jobs without managing traditional queues or workers, so functions can recover automatically from failures.
Key capabilities
Inngest provides durable execution where functions retry from the point of failure rather than restarting, along with flow control features such as rate limiting, per-tenant concurrency, and throttling. It offers full tracing and replay for debugging, and code-based primitives like step.run(), step.waitForEvent(), and step.invoke() that integrate into existing codebases. It deploys on serverless platforms, traditional servers, or existing infrastructure without separate workers, and supports SOC 2, HIPAA, and enterprise SSO/SAML.
Who it's for
Inngest is built for development teams building event-driven applications, AI agent orchestration, and reliable background processing. Its customers include companies such as Cohere, Replit, ElevenLabs, and Resend.
