It shouldn't be. Every team we know spends more time wrangling queues, debugging state machines, and stitching together infrastructure than building the product their users actually need. The more we accept this complexity as inevitable, the more we forfeit every benefit promised by AI.
What we believe
Every time you split logic across config files, dashboards, and deployment manifests, you lose the ability to reason about what your system does. The best decisions live where the work happens — in your codebase, version-controlled and reviewable by your team.
You shouldn't reshape your application to fit the constraints of your infrastructure. Write the logic that matters, and let the platform handle queuing, retries, concurrency, and orchestration. Your code should declare intent; the platform should figure out the rest.
The gap between a working prototype and a production system is almost entirely infrastructure. Closing that gap means anyone — not just teams with dedicated platform engineers — can ship reliable software at scale. That's the future we're building toward.
Who we are
We started Inngest to eliminate the busywork between your ideas and production. Less infrastructure, more building. Join us.
