What it does
Inngest provides a durable execution platform specifically addressing the production challenges of AI agents. It checkpoints state between tool calls, handles external API failures through intelligent retries that preserve agent context, and maps human-in-the-loop approval patterns to native suspend/resume primitives. In 2025, durable execution became a mainstream requirement as AWS, Cloudflare, and Vercel all launched competing offerings — Inngest was ahead of this trend.
