Every day it becomes easier to build a v1.
And every day it becomes a little harder to make that v1 ready for real users.
We spend more time wrangling queues, debugging state machines, and stitching together infrastructure than building the product our users actually need. Because of this complexity, we forfeit every benefit promised by AI.
What we believe
Every time you split logic across config files, dashboards, and manifests, you lose control of your system. When infra lives closer to context—in product code—retries happen at business boundaries, not request boundaries. Throttling protects specific operations, not entire services. And errors point to functions, not trace IDs.
You shouldn't rework your application to fit your infrastructure. We believe the opposite: write your product code, and let the platform handle queuing, retries, concurrency, and orchestration. Your code should declare intent; the platform should figure out the rest. And it should run anywhere you want, in any framework, on serverless or servers.
You should be able to build and maintain products as fast as you can build them. The gap between a prototype and a production system is almost entirely infrastructure. Closing that gap means anyone can ship reliable software, at scale. That's the future we're building toward.
Who we are
We started Inngest to solve engineering complexity. We do that by absorbing the complexity of scaling systems into Steps you add to existing code.
Now you can ship products that work the same for every user, without extra infrastructure.
