What is the recommended naming convention for Inngest events?

Inngest recommends the Object-Action pattern, formatted as domain/noun.verb, such as billing/invoice.paid or user/profile.updated.

What is a fan-out pattern in Inngest?

A fan-out pattern occurs when a single event triggers multiple independent functions, allowing for parallel execution and ensuring that one function's failure doesn't affect others.

How do I prevent duplicate event processing?

Use the id field in the event payload to provide a unique deduplication ID, which Inngest uses to prevent duplicate processing within a 24-hour window.

Can I schedule Inngest events to run in the future?

Yes, by using the ts (timestamp) parameter in Unix milliseconds, you can schedule events for future delivery or maintain specific event ordering.

How can I handle function failures automatically?

Inngest emits system events like inngest/function.failed which you can use to trigger specialized error-handling functions for logging, alerting, or automated retries.

Desarrollo de API

Designs and implements robust event-driven architectures using standardized Inngest event patterns and schemas.

This skill provides specialized guidance for mastering Inngest event design and delivery patterns within Claude Code. It covers essential practices like the Object-Action naming convention, implementing idempotency with unique IDs to prevent duplicate processing, and leveraging fan-out patterns to trigger multiple independent functions from a single event. Developers can use this skill to create self-contained, versioned event schemas, handle system-level failures via system events, and manage complex event orchestration using advanced features like step.waitForEvent and delayed delivery via the ts parameter.
