Episode notes
Inngest's Origin
- Tony Holdstock-Brown worked at a healthcare company and found workflows complex.
- Events, queues, and state management made coding difficult, leading to Inngest's creation.
Inngest Simplifies Workflows
- Inngest simplifies asynchronous workflows by providing a developer platform.
- It handles retries, job state, scheduling, and other complex tasks.
Using Inngest
- Drop the Inngest SDK into your code and write functions triggered by events.
- Each step is a transaction that either succeeds, retries, or commits, abstracting away queues and events.
