Overview

Run your first durable workflow, Sandbox, online eval, or live update.

Start with the area you need first: durable functions coordinate work, sandboxes run code in isolation, agent evals connect outcomes to runs, and realtime sends progress to your users.

Start the Dev Server

Every quick start runs locally against the Inngest Dev Server. It records your events and runs, and shows each run's trace at http://localhost:8288.

Start the Dev Server with one of the commands below:

curl -sSfL https://cli.inngest.com/install.sh | sh
inngest dev -u http://localhost:3000/api/inngest

brew install inngest/tap/inngest
inngest dev -u http://localhost:3000/api/inngest

npx --ignore-scripts=false inngest-cli@latest dev

# -u supplies the app URL when discovery does not find it.
npx --ignore-scripts=false inngest-cli@latest dev -u http://localhost:3000/api/inngest

docker run -p 8288:8288 -p 8289:8289 inngest/inngest \
  inngest dev -u http://host.docker.internal:3000/api/inngest

Pick a quick start

Choose a language for your first workflow

The Durable Execution quick start has separate guides for TypeScript, Go, and Python. Each sends the same event and shows the resulting run.
