About Trigger.dev
Trigger.dev is built for developers who need to orchestrate complex, long-running workflows without hitting the execution time limits of traditional serverless platforms. While standard cloud functions terminate after a few minutes, Trigger.dev handles tasks that run for hours, retry failed steps intelligently, and pause execution waiting for external webhooks or human approval.
With native TypeScript SDKs, Trigger.dev integrates seamlessly into modern Next.js and Node.js applications. Developers can orchestrate multi-agent research loops, automate heavy background data ingestion, manage scheduled cron jobs, and observe live execution runs through an interactive developer dashboard.
- Solves serverless timeout constraints with durable, hours-long background job execution
- First-class TypeScript developer ergonomics with step-level live dashboard tracing
- Open-source core under Apache 2.0 with full self-hosting and hybrid deployment flexibility
- Best suited for TypeScript/Node.js codebases, with limited native SDK support for other languages
- High-concurrency self-hosted deployments require managing Redis and PostgreSQL backends
