Inngest provides durable functions, event-driven workflows, and step functions for TypeScript. Handles retries, concurrency, and fan-out with zero infrastructure.
Reviewer scorecard
“At $500/mo it needs to replace at least 10 hours of developer time per month. In my testing, I spent more time reviewing and fixing its output than I saved. Not there yet.”
“Step functions with automatic retries and state management. The event-driven model is perfect for complex workflows.”
“The marketing writes checks the product can't cash. 'Autonomous software engineer' implies reliability that doesn't exist. It's a talented intern that needs constant supervision.”
“Durable execution without managing queues or state machines. The abstraction level is exactly right.”
“Devin is early but directionally correct. The autonomous agent approach will win eventually. Cognition has the best shot at getting there first. Invest in the future, not the present.”
“Durable workflows are essential infrastructure for AI agents and complex async operations. Inngest is well-positioned.”
