About
What is Trigger.dev?
Trigger.dev is an open-source platform designed for developers to build and deploy robust AI agents and workflows using TypeScript. It specializes in managing long-running tasks, offering features like automatic retries with configurable backoff, fair queuing with concurrency controls, and real-time observability and monitoring. The platform ensures elastic auto-scaling and eliminates timeouts, allowing developers to focus on AI logic rather than infrastructure. It also supports human-in-the-loop workflows, LLM response streaming, scheduled tasks, and multi-tenant environments, making it suitable for complex, production-ready AI applications. With its open-source nature and integration capabilities, Trigger.dev provides true runtime freedom for developers.
Best used for
Ideal for developers who need to build production-ready AI agents, manage long-running asynchronous tasks, and orchestrate complex AI workflows. Especially valuable for those requiring automatic retries, real-time observability, and elastic scaling without managing servers, allowing focus on AI logic.
