About Trigger.dev
Trigger.dev is an open source platform for running long tasks and durable AI agents written in TypeScript. It handles retries, queues and monitoring so the code can focus on the task itself.
What it does
Developers write tasks in their project folder and deploy them to the platform. Work that takes minutes or hours can run in the background, with retries and queues. The platform also supports durable chat agents that keep running through page refreshes and redeploys, and it includes observability for AI calls.
Key features
- Long-running TypeScript tasks with retries
- Queues and concurrency limits for workloads
- Durable chat agents with human approval steps
- Scheduled tasks and webhook triggers
- Observability for LLM calls and runs
Who it's for
TypeScript teams building background jobs, media processing or AI features. Product teams that need agents to pause for human approval or to survive crashes will also find it useful.
Pricing and good to know
The code is open source under the Apache-2.0 license. The company runs a hosted cloud for the platform, and its pricing is listed on the site. The self-hosted and hosted options may have different limits, so check the docs before you choose one.
