Checkpointing: Near-zero latency for durable workflows
Inngest has released a developer preview of Checkpointing, a new orchestration engine capability that enables near-zero inter-step latency while maintaining full workflow durability.
Inngest workflows stay durable while achieving near-zero inter-step latency. This feature targets real-time Inngest workflows — such as AI workflows — where low latency between steps is critical.
Internal testing showed near-zero inter-step latency and approximately a 50% reduction in workflow duration.
Checkpointing is currently available in developer preview as an opt-in configuration at the client or function level.
