Assessment
Inngest suits application teams that need durable steps around an agent job. It can sequence issue, sandbox, harness, and pull-request steps; coding-agent behavior sits in a separate component. Compare it with Temporal on durability and operations.
Strengths
- Step functions with events, usable from common app languages.
- Self-host option plus a managed cloud.
- Fits product-shaped factories with application-level job flows.
Limitations
- Younger operations story than Temporal at huge scale.
- Agent implementation and execution environment remain external.
- License and feature split between OSS and Cloud should be re-read.
