You can grab the LLMs-full.txt file here: https://agentkit.inngest.com/llms-full.txt
More realtime examples coming soon!

CTO @ Inngest here. Each event is published with an API key associated with a particular account workspace. We add the workspace id along side the each event in the stream so matches are only evaluated against the matching expressions in a particular workspace. This is the first tier of filtering, but many customers send millions of events and have millions of matchers each day so even at the individual workspace level, the optimizations are necessary to prevent backlogs across user accounts.

How do they handle multi-tenancy for their users? Any post on that?

We'll also be supporting long-running services as well in the near future which subscribe to updates from Inngest, rather than get invoked via HTTP.
Currently, to get beyond the ~5 min limit per step, you'd need to deploy to something non-serverless like Fly.io, Render, or your own instance running Express.js or similar.

This is pretty much what Inngest is (https://www.inngest.com/). Runs on Deno as well.

Our team has just started to use this a bit more and I really liked the .insomnia dir in our projects. This is pretty sad as we've seen this path with Postman - I ~~thought~~ hoped that since Kong had plenty of other viable revenue streams that Insomnia would stay out of this nonsense. Disappointing.

Thanks! RedwoodJS is fantastic and we've been fortunate to collaborate with the core team to build in some great support for Inngest :)
We also collaborated with their core team on a GraphQL envelop plugin that automatically sends events for every mutation called in your api: https://github.com/inngest/envelop-plugin-inngest

Inngest has built in concurrency controls and rate limiting to prevent systems from being overloaded, allowing the user to have the same controls of a traditional worker, but just a simple config option.
Inngest was designed to be a solution that can replace traditional queuing systems and event driven systems. Originally, it was built with the idea to handle complex flows that need to be durable, e.g. healthcare workflows that have time-based follow ups and legal compliance tasks that need to be executed in a specific order depending on patient confirmation or other actions.
We've seen users build all sorts of things: automate infrastructure based on events, building AI Agents around LLMs, perform vulnerability scans across thousands of packages, building scheduling products, and e-commerce data pipelines. We're seeing new use cases each week.

Funny enough, we were fortunate to meet Guillermo through our lead, GGV as part of due diligence. GGV had recently led Vercel's recent round so he was part of the process of vetting our product. Our timing was also great as we had recently shipped our Vercel integration [1] and were the only integration supporting background jobs and workflows in their integration marketplace. He quickly recognized the value in what we were building and was interested to invest. It was an ideal combination of timing of having built something of value to the Vercel ecosystem and being intro'd!
Guillermo has been a fantastic supporter overall :)

Yeah - definitely overlapping use cases! I expanded on more detail above: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36698178
