Trigger.dev is an open-source platform for building and deploying durable AI agents and background workflows that run without timeout constraints. It provides retries, queues, observability, and elastic scaling out of the box, enabling teams to build complex, long-running tasks that are resilient to failures and easy to monitor in production.
Durable Task Execution
- Long-running tasks with built-in checkpointing, automatic retries, and idempotency guarantees
- Complex multi-step workflows complete reliably even under failure conditions
- Configurable resource limits for CPU and memory per task
- Task versioning for safe, gradual rollouts
Observability and Monitoring
- Distributed tracing, structured logs, and real-time streaming of task output
- Debugging and monitoring tools for production workflows
- Concurrency controls to manage parallel execution
- TypeScript-first runtime with ergonomic async and streaming patterns
Developer Experience
- TypeScript and JavaScript SDKs with extension points and frontend integration hooks
- Embed workflow logic directly into applications
- Self-hosted and cloud-hosted deployment models
- Teams deploy LLM-powered agents as production services for document processing, data enrichment, and customer communication
