Inngest
Inngest
Stateful step functions and AI workflows on serverless, servers or the edge.
Overview
Inngest runs durable step functions: each step is persisted, and functions can pause with waitForEvent until a matching event arrives, which is a common way to wait for an approval. Use Inngest Cloud or self-host the server.
