Why I Use It
Inngest handles scheduled tasks and background jobs that need reliability. The SDK is lightweight compared to building custom worker infrastructure. It retries failures automatically, which saves me from writing that logic. I use it for things like daily content generation, periodic data syncs, and long-running tasks that might timeout in normal request/response cycles.
When I Recommend It to a Client
When they have scheduled jobs or background processing that's becoming complex to manage. Also when they need observability into async workflows—debugging distributed systems without tools is painful.
