excited to share how and why we built our own queueing system for Inngest with a technical deep dive. → managing queues for thousands of users is hard → cloud queueing systems honestly don't cut it here's why and how ours works 🧵

working on features and working on quality aren't mutually exclusive. every time you build something new, it's a chance to refactor related code to make things cleaner and better tested.

everyone out here talking about their workflows like they didn’t yoink their api from somewhere else

Explicit >>> magic, and the difference between `𝚜𝚝𝚎𝚙.𝚛𝚞𝚗()` and "𝚞𝚜𝚎 𝚠𝚘𝚛𝚔𝚏𝚕𝚘𝚠" is huge. We shipped implicit IDs when we created the 𝚜𝚝𝚎𝚙.𝚛𝚞𝚗 API in 2022. Switched to explicit APIs within months. Here's why: → No magic compilation. What you write is

turns out simpler is better - and more powerful. steps are is far better for o11y, transactionality, and composition: () => { step.run("vertex", () => { ... }) step.run("tool call", () => { ... }) }

Excited to release `useAgent`. Stream multi-agent output directly to your UI, including tools & human in the loop setups. Combining this with Monday's release... it's now a ton easier to build production grade AI workflows in your products.
OH MYLANTA, it's Day 3 of Launch Week! 🚀 We're stoked* to finally unleash useAgent—the easiest way to stream durable, multi-agent workflows from the backend to the frontend. No separate state stores, no connection handling—just one line of code to move faster, without fear.

Another day, another banger. This one's pivotal. You can now start using all of the data you Inngest to build your product. Insights. APIs. Events. Runs. It's all there, queryable in sub-second time.
🚀Launch Week Day 2! 🚀 Introducing: Insights! Starting today, all Inngest users can now query workflow events and traces where they're already managed, using SQL. No more grepping logs, or writing custom metrics just to answer simple questions about how your users behave.

The team have worked on an absolute killer. From today, you can start using ` https://t.co/WC4oB2ydId` in API endpoints. Native tracing. Durable APIs. Retries. Async support. Local replay. Zero latency. All without rearchitecting. You finally get the best of everything —
🚀Starting launch week off with a big one! https://t.co/zfMn71LZs7 is now available for APIs 😮 Add a single line of code to any REST API to add durability, automatic retries, and observability to applications, without ever having to think about queues, workers, or extra infra.

Happened again. Unfortunately no new raise to announce today.
It's Tuesday. Stopped work at midnight. Up at 5am to start again. It's not yet 9am. Announced $21m Series A. Closed deals. Shipped features. Did customer intros. Didn't mention the lock in. Actions > words.

AI agents are really just workflows. And workflows are messy, probabilistic, and hard to scale reliably. That’s why we led @inngest Series A - a system that makes agents just work, with durability, observability, and replay built in https://t.co/RZb2CoqlYs

3 years ago I showed the world Inngest. It was based off of one simple idea: Every engineer should be able to build cool, complex shit... *without worrying about infra*. No queues. No pubsub. No architecture issues. Just... ` https://t.co/WC4oB2ydId` and done. Ship fast,

If you're not iterating fast, and you're not building with AI... you're cooked. Congrats @amasad and the team! Agents building agents is a brave new world.
AI agents can prototype apps… But shipping real software takes hours of testing, debugging, and refactoring. Agent 3 is 10× more autonomous — it keeps going where others get stuck. The “Full Self-Driving” moment of software.
