Cloud Free with limits; paid tiers · 6.0k stars · Go · Source available · repository push Nov 2026

Inngest's record says to avoid it if: You need an OSI open-source licence for the server; it uses SSPL with a delayed Apache 2.0 licence.

Frequently asked

How were alternatives to Inngest selected?
Recorded task topics and meaningful shared terms qualify same-type candidates in the same category. Results are ordered by that overlap, then information completeness and a stable identifier. Sponsorship and GitHub stars do not participate. The method can miss suitable tools whose records lack task information.
Does inclusion mean a tested replacement?
No. These are catalogue-based research candidates. Check current sources, costs, permissions and deployment requirements, then test your own task. ASE has not run a performance benchmark of this shortlist.
