What is Inngest?
Durable execution platform pushes into low-latency runtime and AI-agent developer workflows.
Inngest is a durable workflow execution platform built around a TypeScript SDK. The last six months ran two strategic bets in parallel: chasing AI-workflow latency (Checkpointing cut workflow duration by 50%, then Durable Endpoints extended durability into plain API handlers) and making the platform a first-class target for AI coding agents (Dev Server MCP, Agent Skills, markdown docs URLs). TypeScript SDK v4 GA in March consolidated this as the default experience.
What is tidyaudit?
Pipeline provenance for tidyverse workflows, recording what changed at each step without keeping the data.
tidyaudit records lightweight metadata snapshots as data flows through a pipeline — row and column counts, NA counts, and structured diffs between any two points — without storing the data itself. Taps are operation-aware, so join, filter, and anti-join steps each report what that operation specifically did, and validation helpers cover join integrity, primary keys, and variable relationships. The trail can now be exported as a self-contained interactive HTML diagram or serialized to JSON or RDS.

Inngest
0.0INFRA · APIS
Durable execution platform pushes into low-latency runtime and AI-agent developer workflows.
◆ Current state
Inngest is a durable workflow execution platform built around a TypeScript SDK. The last six months ran two strategic bets in parallel: chasing AI-workflow latency (Checkpointing cut workflow duration by 50%, then Durable Endpoints extended durability into plain API handlers) and making the platform a first-class target for AI coding agents (Dev Server MCP, Agent Skills, markdown docs URLs). TypeScript SDK v4 GA in March consolidated this as the default experience.
◆ Where it's heading
Inngest is broadening from 'workflow engine' to 'durability primitive any TypeScript handler can wrap with step.run().' Realtime moving into the core SDK and Durable Endpoints both shrink the surface gap between 'calling Inngest' and 'writing a normal handler.' The AI-agent investments suggest they expect new project onboarding to happen via a coding agent installing skills, not a developer reading docs.
◆ Prediction
Expect Durable Endpoints to graduate from public beta (currently Next.js and Bun only), realtime APIs to expand to more frontend integrations, and the Agent Skills set to grow into the longer tail of testing, deployment, and debugging workflows.
tidyaudit
0.0INFRA · APIS
Pipeline provenance for tidyverse workflows, recording what changed at each step without keeping the data.
◆ Current state
tidyaudit records lightweight metadata snapshots as data flows through a pipeline — row and column counts, NA counts, and structured diffs between any two points — without storing the data itself. Taps are operation-aware, so join, filter, and anti-join steps each report what that operation specifically did, and validation helpers cover join integrity, primary keys, and variable relationships. The trail can now be exported as a self-contained interactive HTML diagram or serialized to JSON or RDS.
◆ Where it's heading
The arc is from inspection to artifact. The first release made the trail something you print and read; 0.2.0 made it something you can hand to someone else or feed to another program, with the HTML export deliberately requiring no server and no Shiny. Reporting has been refined in the same direction, with a tabular changes block showing from-and-to values with row, column, and NA deltas. The remaining work in the window is defensive — a factor-handling path rebuilt because R-devel tightened what as.data.frame.table() accepts in row names.
◆ Prediction
With serialization and a standalone export in place, the natural next step is making trails comparable across runs rather than only across steps within one, though nothing in the entries commits to it yet.
