Root Cause Analysis: July 2026 Service Incidents

In July 2026, Inngest encountered four significant service incidents that disrupted its operations and impacted its customers. On July 10, a connectivity issue with a third-party provider led to a fallback to default configurations, degrading function execution and run scheduling, which was later resolved by rolling back the release. On July 16, two incidents occurred: the first increased execution latency and checkpointing errors due to a startup dependency issue in an upgrade-readiness state store path, and the second involved a failure to publish execution metrics because of configuration drift, both of which were addressed by disabling the problematic paths and restoring permissions. Finally, on July 23, a capacity-allocation failure in a new storage backend halted event processing and delayed function execution, resolved by isolating the affected topic and scaling services. Inngest has taken corrective measures, including adding monitoring and alerting systems, to prevent future occurrences and minimize customer impact.
