FAQPage Schema

How do I run serverless background jobs without managing queues or workers?▼

Use Inngest to orchestrate durable serverless background jobs without managing custom queues or workers. It provides checkpointed steps and resilient runners, letting you process events reliably in serverless environments without infrastructure overhead.

What are durable workflows and when do I need them for event-driven systems?▼

Durable workflows are serverless functions with checkpointed steps that resume reliably after failures. You need them for event-driven systems processing millions of events, AI pipelines, and onboarding flows spanning days where traditional serverless functions lack resilience.

Can I use step functions for concurrency control and durable sleep in serverless?▼

Yes, Inngest supports typed step functions with built-in concurrency control and durable sleep. You can orchestrate complex fan-out patterns and schedule functions while maintaining state across long-running serverless workflows without manual checkpoint management.

What's the best way to orchestrate event-driven AI pipelines in serverless?▼

Inngest lets you orchestrate event-driven AI pipelines using typed functions and step functions. It handles fan-out patterns, concurrency control, and durable sleep, providing reliable checkpointed execution for complex AI workflows without custom queue infrastructure.

Does Inngest work for long-running onboarding flows that span multiple days?▼

Yes, Inngest supports durable sleep and scheduled functions, making it suitable for onboarding flows spanning days. Checkpointed steps ensure the workflow resumes reliably even after extended waiting periods or intermediate failures in serverless environments.

Why use durable serverless workflows instead of traditional queue-based workers?▼

Durable serverless workflows eliminate the need to manage custom queues or workers while providing checkpointed steps and resilient runners. They handle concurrency control, durable sleep, and fan-out patterns natively, offering reliability without infrastructure maintenance overhead.
