Trigger.dev helps engineers create powerful background jobs in code. We provide a single framework and features like API integrations, webhooks, scheduling and delays – all open source, and with a focus on incredible developer experience.

Trigger.dev was created during the Y Combinator W23 batch and launched with the biggest Show Hacker News post from a YC company in the past year. Since then, we’ve amassed over 4,000 GitHub stars and have raised our $3M seed round, backed by world-class investors.

Trigger.dev makes money from our cloud product, or people can self-host the open source project. We’re growing week-over-week by focusing on building the best product for our customers as well as a strong product-led-growth marketing strategy.

Our values

• We are proud to be open source We believe in the open source community and building a great free-to-use product. We encourage community contributions and are public about what we are building.
• We ship uncomfortably fast As a startup, moving fast is key. We are pragmatic about what we build, when we build it, and value iterative development above all.
• Working autonomously We don’t tell you what to do. We decide as a team what will have the biggest impact for our customers and prioritise what we work on from that.
