# Inngest Labs

> New projects built on Inngest that you can use today, while they are still taking shape.

Labs is where we ship what is next for Inngest. Each lab is a real project you can install and use today, released early so you can build with it while it takes shape.

## Why try a lab

- **Use new capabilities first.** Labs cover ground the platform does not yet, such as running CI pipelines as durable functions.
- **Nothing new underneath.** Labs run on the same runs, [traces](/docs-markdown/platform-and-operations/traces?ref=docs-labs), and [flow control](/docs-markdown/durable-execution/flow-control?ref=docs-labs) you already use.
- **Help decide what is next.** How people use a lab shapes where it goes.

## What to expect

- **Fast movement.** Labs change quickly. APIs may change between 0.x releases, so pin the version you use.
- **A path forward.** A lab can become part of the platform, and then it moves into the main docs. A lab can also be retired. In that case you get notice and a migration path.
- **Open source.** Lab code stays open source, whatever happens next.

| [Inngest CI](/docs-markdown/labs/ci?ref=docs-labs) | Write CI pipelines in TypeScript and run each job on its own Sandbox. | [Sandboxes](/docs-markdown/sandboxes?ref=docs-labs), [Traces](/docs-markdown/platform-and-operations/traces?ref=docs-labs), [Flow control](/docs-markdown/durable-execution/flow-control?ref=docs-labs) | `@inngest/ci` 0.1.0 |

## Next steps

- [Inngest CI](/docs-markdown/labs/ci?ref=docs-labs) is the first lab. Start with the overview or run a pipeline locally.
- [What is Inngest?](/docs-markdown/platform-overview?ref=docs-labs) explains the platform that labs build on.
