Durable execution for backend work. You write ordinary functions in your own codebase, mark the bits that must not be repeated as steps, and Inngest runs them as an event-driven workflow that survives crashes, restarts and deploys — retries, sleeps, waits, fan-out, concurrency and idempotency handled by the platform rather than by a queue you maintain. The same machinery is aimed at AI agents (AgentKit) and now carries an evaluation and observability layer: scoring of agent output, AI cost/latency dashboards, session grouping, and experiments against live production traffic.
