I think this is an interesting service, and could be a nice way to write a SvelteKit or Next.js app with background workers.<p>The press release is unnecessarily hyperbolic, which turned me off, though:<p>> <i>Deploying new jobs to production also requires tedious configuration of cloud infrastructure which often requires a handoff to another team or individual. Often weeks of developer time is spent on basic workflows, before anything complex like idempotency is handled.</i>
<i>Using Inngest, developers can write, test, and deploy complex workflows to production in hours, not weeks — all without touching infrastructure or queues.</i><p>Using something like Dramatiq [1] with Redis, writing a background job takes minutes, and can be deployed alongside an existing Python web app. There are probably JS equivalents.<p>I think Inngest could be a useful service (I might have used it if I'd seen it a few weeks ago), but the comparison felt off for me - it made me feel like this wasn't solving a real problem.<p>[1] <a href="https://dramatiq.io/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://dramatiq.io/</a>
