inngest-steps

Build durable workflows by decomposing logic into independent Inngest step primitives like step.run and step.sleep. This approach enables deterministic execution, robust error handling, and retries across multi-service orchestrations and data processing pipelines.

Durable workflow orchestration is composing independent steps that can be retried, paused, and composed across functions. You need it for automation pipelines and data processing requiring deterministic execution, delays, and inter-service coordination.

Yes, you can compose complex data processing workflows using loops and parallel execution patterns. These orchestration patterns combine multiple step primitives to handle intricate automation and multi-service coordination deterministically.

Trigger and coordinate inter-service workflows using step.sendEvent and step.invoke primitives. These allow you to dispatch events and invoke other functions, enabling modular and reusable workflow steps across distributed services.

Step primitives require structuring logic into replay-safe boundaries for deterministic execution. Workflows needing non-deterministic side effects outside these boundaries or lacking clear inter-service coordination points may not suit this orchestration pattern.
