Introduction to Inngest

Inngest is an event-driven durable workflow engine that enables you to run reliable code on any platform, including serverless.

With any Inngest SDK, you write Functions in your codebase and make them available to Inngest using an HTTP endpoint. Functions are triggered by Events which can be sent with our SDKs, via a regular POST request, or can come from an external source such as webhooks.

Functions are composed of Steps, which decouple parts of your functions into individually retriable blocks. Steps enable you to write complex, durable, long-lived workflows in a single function, on any platform: servers, serverless, or edge.
