SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Inngest setup enables durable execution in TypeScript apps, allowing retry-safe webhook handlers, background jobs that survive crashes, and long-running workflows that outlive a single request.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Install the Inngest SDK
  • Create a shared Inngest client
  • Configure environment variables for production and development
  • Expose serve endpoints for Next.js, Express, Hono, and Fastify
  • Use connect-as-worker mode for long-running processes
  • Run and debug locally with the Inngest dev server

Quick Start

Install the Inngest SDK, create a shared client, and configure environment variables to begin local development.

FAQPage Schema
How do I set up durable execution for background jobs in TypeScript?▼

Durable execution is set up by installing the Inngest SDK, creating a shared client, and configuring environment variables to handle background jobs and long-running workflows that survive crashes.

Can I use Inngest durable execution with an Express or Hono backend?▼

Yes, Inngest durable execution works with Express and Hono backends, alongside Next.js and Fastify, by exposing serve endpoints to handle webhook routing and background jobs.

How do I run and debug Inngest workflows locally in a dev server?▼

To run and debug Inngest workflows locally, you use the Inngest dev server which supports both serve and connect-as-worker modes for testing long-running processes before deployment.

What is the difference between serve and connect modes for Inngest?▼

Serve mode exposes HTTP endpoints for webhook handlers in frameworks like Next.js and Express, while connect-as-worker mode handles long-running processes without exposing public endpoints.

Why do I need a shared Inngest client for my TypeScript application?▼

A shared Inngest client centralizes SDK configuration and environment variables, ensuring retry-safe webhook handling and durable execution across your application's background jobs and workflows.

Do I need to configure environment variables for Inngest local development?▼

Yes, configuring environment variables is required for Inngest local development to properly route webhook handlers and background jobs through the local dev server before production deployment.
