Modern serverless job schedulers

What's this blog post about?

Modern serverless job schedulers have not seen significant advancements in recent years. However, there is a need for faster and more reliable applications that can handle background tasks effectively. Inngest introduces an innovative approach to job scheduling by using events instead of RPC calls. This method simplifies code writing, reading, debugging, and maintenance while offering full type checking, versioning, and local replay capabilities. By adopting a serverless architecture, developers can build faster and deploy their applications more easily without the need for long-running VMs or expensive messaging systems like Redis or RabbitMQ. Inngest's event-driven paradigm allows users to create declarative background jobs that specify when they should be called, making it easier to understand system behavior.
