SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This skill resolves the complexity of upgrading Inngest SDK from v3 to v4, preventing runtime errors, broken event schemas, and configuration mismatches during the transition.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Automated Refactoring: Automatically migrates trigger syntax, client options, and event schemas to the v4 API.
  • Realtime Migration: Safely replaces deprecated v3 realtime packages with native v4 realtime APIs.
  • Use Case: Use this when your project fails to start after an Inngest update or when you need to modernize your codebase to leverage v4 features like optimized parallelism and improved type safety.

Quick Start

Run the inngest-v3-v4-migration skill to audit your current codebase and apply the necessary refactors to upgrade to Inngest v4.

FAQPage Schema
How do I migrate my TypeScript codebase from Inngest SDK v3 to v4?

To migrate from Inngest SDK v3 to v4, you need to refactor client configurations, function triggers, and event schemas. Automated migration tools can audit your codebase and apply the necessary updates to ensure compliance with v4 runtime requirements.

Why does my project fail to start after updating to Inngest v4?

Your project fails to start after updating to Inngest v4 due to configuration mismatches and deprecated v3 realtime packages. Upgrading requires refactoring trigger syntax and client options to match the native v4 realtime and step invocation patterns.

How do I replace deprecated Inngest v3 realtime packages with native v4 APIs?

Replacing deprecated v3 realtime packages involves migrating to native v4 realtime APIs. This refactoring safely transitions your event-driven architecture to the new SDK while preventing broken event schemas and runtime errors.

Can I use this migration tool for TypeScript projects with mixed Inngest SDK versions?

Yes, this migration tool specifically targets TypeScript projects with mixed SDK versions. It audits the codebase and applies necessary refactors to standardize your codebase on the v4 API, ensuring full compliance with v4 runtime requirements.

What changes are required for Inngest v4 environment variables and serverless checkpointing?

Inngest v4 requires specific environment variable usage and serverless checkpointing configurations. Migrating involves updating client configurations to meet these v4 runtime requirements, preventing runtime errors during the transition.

What is the best way to upgrade Inngest trigger syntax and event schemas to v4?

The best way to upgrade Inngest trigger syntax and event schemas to v4 is through automated refactoring. This process safely updates your codebase to leverage v4 features like optimized parallelism and improved type safety.
