Building a Pluggable, Cloud-native Event-driven Serverless Architecture
summary
Open source Inngest is a pluggable cloud-native event platform that combines an event stream with job scheduling; core services are an event API, runner, executor and core API, written in Go with a JavaScript/TypeScript SDK. Backing drivers include Kafka, NATS, Pub/Sub, Postgres and Redis plus in-memory drivers for local CI, and an AWS Terraform stack using SQS and ElastiCache. Events use auto-generated JSON schema with TypeScript exports, runtimes target HTTP/Docker now and Lambda/GCF planned, and the system is already runnable locally and in the cloud.
