Summary

Inngest is a developer platform that enhances serverless functions by adding advanced capabilities. It enables developers to write workflows as code that can run on any serverless platform and are locally testable, without the need for infrastructure or configuration setup. The platform handles orchestration and manages state for background tasks, from simple jobs to complex workflows. Inngest supports automatic retries, logging, event history, idempotency, concurrency management, fan-out work, scheduled work, sleeps, and more. It also offers a TypeScript SDK for defining functions in existing codebases and an Inngest Dev Server for local development testing. Today, Inngest released a redesigned experience for monitoring jobs and added support for Vercel previews with new Environments.
