What is Trigger.dev?

Trigger.dev is an open source background jobs framework that lets you write reliable workflows in plain async code. Run long-running AI tasks, handle complex background jobs, and build AI agents with built-in queuing, automatic retries, and real-time monitoring. No timeouts, elastic scaling, and zero infrastructure management required.

We provide everything you need to build and manage background tasks: a CLI and SDK for writing tasks in your existing codebase, support for both regular and scheduled tasks, full observability through our dashboard, and a Realtime API with React hooks for showing task status in your frontend. You can use Trigger.dev Cloud or self-host on your own infrastructure.
