Trigger.dev

Trigger.dev is an open source platform for building and deploying AI workflows in TypeScript, offering long-running tasks with retries, queues, observability, and elastic scaling. It enables creating AI agents with tool calling, human-in-the-loop capabilities, and real-time frontend updates. The service handles deployment, scaling, and observability for AI task workflows.

Build production-ready AI agents with tool calling, automatic retries, and full observability. Develop by writing tasks in a Trigger folder, offload long-running async tasks to Trigger.dev infrastructure, and stream responses to the frontend. Features include autonomous, human-in-the-loop, and multi-model AI agents, prompt chaining, routing, parallelization, orchestrator coordination, and evaluative optimization. Tasks can be scheduled, retried, observed in real time, and scaled with no servers to manage. The platform deploys tasks and handles scaling, with versioned deploys and realtime run status visible in-app and to users.

Who it’s for: Developers and engineering teams building AI-powered workflows and agents, particularly those using TypeScript and needing managed infrastructure for long-running tasks, observability, and scalable execution.
