Automating weekly emails in Next.js with CRON jobs in Inngest

During this episode, we setup a CRON job to schedule a weekly digest email for projects and another job to perform the generation of the email html and actual sending. We will talk through setting up Inngest which is a platform we can use in serverless environments for scheduled tasks and background jobs. We use Sendgrid to send the email. We use a fan-out technique so that each email runs as its own task to prevent one a failure in one task causing the rest to also fail. This project was set up using the T3 stack and Nextjs --- We have made the MY4X4 repo public so that you can follow along! GitHub: https://github.com/lockedandlifted/my4x4
