Inngest provides durable functions, event-driven workflows, and step functions for TypeScript. Handles retries, concurrency, and fan-out with zero infrastructure.
Reviewer scorecard
“This is my daily driver. The codebase awareness is unreal — it understands project structure, conventions, and dependencies without being told. Multi-file refactors just work.”
“Step functions with automatic retries and state management. The event-driven model is perfect for complex workflows.”
“Rate limits are the only downside. When it's running smoothly, it's the best coding assistant available. When you hit limits, you're stuck waiting. Plan for that.”
“Durable execution without managing queues or state machines. The abstraction level is exactly right.”
“The terminal-first approach was the right call. Developers live in their terminal. This isn't an IDE plugin — it's an AI-native development environment.”
“Durable workflows are essential infrastructure for AI agents and complex async operations. Inngest is well-positioned.”
