Show HN: StepKit, an open and cross-platform durable execution standard

Hi HN! I’m Tony, one of the co-founders of Inngest ( https://inngest.com/ ). Wanted to show you something we’re working on: StepKit. StepKit is an open source SDK and framework for building and iterating on durable workflows that run on any platform (self-hosted, Inngest, Cloudflare, Netlify, etc.) without requiring any provider or bundler-specific code. Here’s the repo: https://github.com/inngest/stepkit . StepKit extracts the core execution loop that we built in Inngest and makes it fully open, Apache 2, and hackable/pluggable to different backends. We don’t want people to have to go through multiple major versions in SDKs to learn the lessons we’ve already learned in production: It needs to work anywhere: This SDK is push-based and receives tasks via API endpoints, so it works anywhere (servers, serverless, k8s, etc). That's also customizab
