Console’s review

· Reviewed by David Mytton

What we like

Run a serverless function as a background job, in response to an event, on a schedule, or as a webhook. Supports JS and TS with framework integrations for NextJS, Express, Cloudflare Pages & RedwoodJS. Supports multi-step functions. Local dev server. Functions run on your own platform. Open core (paid cloud platform).

Tradeoffs

Functions written in JS/TS-only (but you can trigger events from any language). AWS Lambda is not yet supported. You need to register functions with Inngest after every deploy (which can be automated).
