What is Trigger.dev?

Trigger.dev is an open-source background jobs platform designed for modern developers. It allows you to write workflows in standard asynchronous code, handling everything from queues to elastic scaling. The platform eliminates concerns about timeouts, retries, and observability, providing a seamless experience with zero infrastructure to manage.

Trigger.dev integrates with existing Node.js SDKs and code repositories, providing reliable execution of tasks, including those involving AI APIs. It supports deployment and scaling to any size, offers robust error handling with alerts, and includes advanced features such as versioning and concurrency controls. The platform is Apache 2.0 licensed, allowing for self-hosting and community contributions.
