Durable Endpoints: Durability beyond workflows
Inngest introduced Durable Endpoints, a feature that brings durability capabilities directly into API handlers — extending retries, recovery, and observability beyond workflows into ordinary endpoint code.
Wrap your endpoint code with inngest.endpoint() and use step.run() to automatically gain:
- Zero infrastructure overhead: No queues to configure, no workers to deploy — just wrap code in
step.run()and you're done. - Automatic checkpoint-based recovery: Steps checkpoint upon completion, so failures retry from the last successful checkpoint rather than restarting from scratch.
- Built-in observability: Full visibility into running processes, failures, and root causes.
- Low latency by design: Architecture leverages checkpointing for rapid execution.
Durable Endpoints is available now in public beta for Next.js and Bun.
