Trigger.dev is an open-source TypeScript platform for building and deploying durable background jobs, long-running AI workflows, and AI agents with no execution timeouts. It provides an SDK and CLI for defining tasks in your codebase, plus managed or self-hosted infrastructure with queues, automatic retries, concurrency control, observability, and realtime streaming.
Use cases
- run long-running AI agent workflows without serverless timeouts
- schedule cron jobs and background tasks in TypeScript
- build durable chat agents with human-in-the-loop approvals
- add retries and queues to flaky background jobs
- stream LLM responses to a frontend in realtime
- monitor and trace background task runs with OpenTelemetry
- manage and deploy AI agents from an AI coding assistant via MCP
- self-host a background jobs platform instead of AWS Lambda
When to choose
- you need long-running tasks (hours) that outlast serverless function limits
- you want durable AI agents with retries, queues, and idempotency built in
- your stack is TypeScript/Next.js and you want tasks in your existing codebase
- you need human-in-the-loop pauses and realtime run status in your UI
- you want a self-hostable alternative to managed job queues
When to avoid
- you only need simple sub-second cron jobs with minimal infrastructure
- your backend is not JavaScript/TypeScript
- you need a general-purpose stream processing or ETL pipeline engine
- you cannot use a cloud service and do not want to self-host the server components
