Trigger.dev

Trigger.dev is the platform for building AI workflows in TypeScript. Long-running tasks with retries, queues, observability, and elastic scaling

Trigger.dev gives developers an open source platform for building and deploying AI agents and workflows in TypeScript, aimed at teams that need long-running tasks to actually finish reliably. Rather than writing custom infrastructure for retries and timeouts, teams define tasks in code and let the platform handle the durability side of running them.

The platform provides retries, queues and concurrency controls, durable cron-based scheduled tasks without timeout limits, and observability and monitoring so developers can trace what an agent or task did in real time. A realtime feature connects a frontend application directly to running tasks, and the project ships guides for building AI agents with tools such as the Claude Agent SDK, alongside support for self-hosting. Categorized under e-commerce in this directory, Trigger.dev is really infrastructure that any team building agentic or long-running workflows in TypeScript could adopt, e-commerce included.

The site describes the project as open source and links to a pricing page, but does not state on its own whether a paid plan exists alongside free, self-hosted use, so the pricing model is unclear from what is published. Developers wanting durable AI workflows can start with the open source project and its documentation directly.
