Neon + Inngest: Trigger durable functions from database changes

What's this blog post about?

Neon has integrated with Inngest to enable triggering durable functions directly from changes in a Neon Postgres database. This integration allows developers to decouple triggers from application logic, making it easier to build durable workflows. The setup process can be done automatically by Inngest or manually by the user. Database events can then be used to trigger Inngest functions, which execute in the developer's own codebase and server environment. This integration provides clear benefits such as decoupling function triggers from application logic, eliminating the need for certain architecture patterns, and leveraging specific Inngest features like fan-out, batching, and flow control. Developers can now create robust, scalable systems with ease using this new integration.
