inngest-flow-control

What problem does it solve?

Inngest-based workflows can suffer from resource contention, runaway costs, and flaky processing under high load. This skill provides configurable flow-control primitives to tame concurrency, throttling, rate limiting, debounce, priority, singleton, and batching for Inngest functions, helping teams build reliable event-driven apps.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Concurrency: cap how many steps execute in parallel to protect databases and services.
• Throttling: limit function starts over time to handle bursts without overwhelming external APIs.
• Rate Limiting: enforce hard caps on events or function starts to prevent abuse.
• Debounce: wait for activity to settle before processing, reducing noisy updates.
• Priority: elevate critical events to processing ahead of others.
• Singleton: ensure only one instance runs per key to avoid races.
• Batching: group events to process together for efficiency.
• Combining Flow Control: compose multiple controls for balanced, resilient pipelines.

Quick Start

Create an inngest function with a concurrency limit of 5 and a 60-second throttle to balance resources during load.
