The Jamstack has evolved from a simple concept for building front-ends into an entire ecosystem and approach to developing applications. It encompasses JavaScript frameworks, serverless APIs/FaaS, and serverless databases and services. While the Jamstack has seen significant innovation across the stack, there are still areas that need improvement, particularly in asynchronous work. Inngest is a platform designed to address these gaps by providing event-driven functionality for running any sort of asynchronous workloads driven by event data. It aims to be developer-first and offers automatic scaling, great defaults, power as needed, and the ability to combine functionality for complex workflows.
