Trigger.dev

Trigger.dev is an open-source platform for building and running long-running background jobs and AI workflows in TypeScript. It provides durable task execution with retries, queues, observability, and elastic scaling, designed to handle AI workloads such as AI agents, prompt chaining, and media processing. Core capabilities include creating invincible AI agents that survive refreshes and crashes, streaming responses to frontends without API routes, human-in-the-loop approvals, and comprehensive monitoring. The platform is ideal for developers and solopreneurs who need to offload async AI tasks from their main application, build autonomous agents, or orchestrate multi-step AI processes with reliability and observability.
