Task runner for NextJS

Vercel is the most popular platform to spin up an app these days. Even though it has Cron like features, one missing piece is background task runner.

In looking for solutions, I found two shiny looking options.

  1. https://defer.run/
  2. https://www.inngest.com/

Ultimately I decided to go with https://www.inngest.com/ because of it's open source ethos and the ability to run it locally.

There are some nuances about running it in dev mode vs staging mode vs prod mode. But overall pretty doable.
