Inngest is an event-driven workflow engine that handles background jobs without managing servers or queues. This guide walks through integrating Inngest with DigitalOcean's App Platform using SaaS Add-Ons. You'll deploy an app, configure environment variables for authentication, create an API endpoint for Inngest communication, define event-triggered functions, and test the integration. The setup enables reliable background processing for tasks like sending emails, processing files, and managing workflows with automatic scaling and retry handling.
