What is Auth0?
Auth0 hands tenants a throttle on their own noisy apps
Custom Rate Limits enter Early Access, letting a tenant cap requests per second for individual clients or whole classes of them — third-party, CIMD — so one application cannot exhaust the tenant's Authentication API rate limit entitlement. Policies are configured through an API and can be rolled out in notify-only mode before they start blocking. It arrives in a dense window that also brought Flexible Password Policy to GA and Custom Prompts parity across social and enterprise connections.
What is Inngest?
Durable execution platform pushes into low-latency runtime and AI-agent developer workflows.
Inngest is a durable workflow execution platform built around a TypeScript SDK. The last six months ran two strategic bets in parallel: chasing AI-workflow latency (Checkpointing cut workflow duration by 50%, then Durable Endpoints extended durability into plain API handlers) and making the platform a first-class target for AI coding agents (Dev Server MCP, Agent Skills, markdown docs URLs). TypeScript SDK v4 GA in March consolidated this as the default experience.

Auth0

Auth0 hands tenants a throttle on their own noisy apps
◆ Current state
Custom Rate Limits enter Early Access, letting a tenant cap requests per second for individual clients or whole classes of them — third-party, CIMD — so one application cannot exhaust the tenant's Authentication API rate limit entitlement. Policies are configured through an API and can be rolled out in notify-only mode before they start blocking. It arrives in a dense window that also brought Flexible Password Policy to GA and Custom Prompts parity across social and enterprise connections.
◆ Where it's heading
Two threads dominate. One is agent and delegation infrastructure — Agents as Principal, Token Vault Privileged Worker, Custom Token Exchange session delegation — all still in Early Access. The other is tenant self-service: rate limits, blocklists, organization search and roles, global search. Auth0 is systematically converting things that required support intervention into API-configurable policy.
◆ Prediction
The Early Access items now stacking up, particularly the agent-identity pieces, are the obvious GA candidates next, following the Flexible Password Policy path from Early Access to general availability.
Inngest

Durable execution platform pushes into low-latency runtime and AI-agent developer workflows.
◆ Current state
Inngest is a durable workflow execution platform built around a TypeScript SDK. The last six months ran two strategic bets in parallel: chasing AI-workflow latency (Checkpointing cut workflow duration by 50%, then Durable Endpoints extended durability into plain API handlers) and making the platform a first-class target for AI coding agents (Dev Server MCP, Agent Skills, markdown docs URLs). TypeScript SDK v4 GA in March consolidated this as the default experience.
◆ Where it's heading
Inngest is broadening from 'workflow engine' to 'durability primitive any TypeScript handler can wrap with step.run().' Realtime moving into the core SDK and Durable Endpoints both shrink the surface gap between 'calling Inngest' and 'writing a normal handler.' The AI-agent investments suggest they expect new project onboarding to happen via a coding agent installing skills, not a developer reading docs.
◆ Prediction
Expect Durable Endpoints to graduate from public beta (currently Next.js and Bun only), realtime APIs to expand to more frontend integrations, and the Agent Skills set to grow into the longer tail of testing, deployment, and debugging workflows.
