## When it is useful

Use when adding durable execution to a TypeScript project — retry-safe webhook handlers, background jobs that survive crashes, scheduled tasks, or long-running workflows that outlive a single request. Covers Inngest SDK installation, client config, environment variables, serve endpoints (Next.js, Express, Hono, Fastify), connect-as-worker mode, and the local dev server. TypeScript-focused; Python/Go belong in Inngest docs, not this skill.

## The Catch

Assumes Inngest Cloud + TypeScript. Hobby is $0/mo, no CC, at inngest.com/pricing (50k executions, 5 concurrent steps, 500k events; pauses at quota).
