Trigger.dev

Trigger.dev is an open-source platform for building reliable, production-grade AI and automation workflows directly in TypeScript. It enables developers to define workflows as code, orchestrating complex, long-running tasks that integrate with external APIs, services, and AI models. The platform is designed to handle operational concerns such as reliability, scaling, and observability so teams can focus on application logic rather than infrastructure plumbing.

Key capabilities include support for long-running jobs with built-in retry logic, timeouts, and error handling, as well as queues for managing high-throughput or bursty workloads. Trigger.dev provides strong observability with detailed run histories, logs, and step-level insights, making it easier to debug and optimize workflows. It also supports elastic scaling, allowing workloads to automatically scale up or down based on demand, and integrates natively with TypeScript projects so workflows can share types, utilities, and domain logic with the rest of your codebase. Developers can orchestrate AI calls, scheduled tasks, webhooks, and background jobs in a consistent, code-first manner.
