We’re an event-driven queueing system. Existing queueing solutions have pretty terrible UX. We solve this by making it simple for you to write delayed or background jobs by triggering step functions from JSON-based events. At a high level, Inngest does two things: - Ingest events from your systems via HTTP (pun intended) - Triggers serverless functions in response to specific events — async, either immediately or delayed.

Because of the decoupling, it also means cleaner code. We talk about the benefits here [1]. Previously, Tony ran engineering at https://ift.tt/IeuUa5N and Dan was the CTO of https://buffer.com/. At both places, we had to buil
