Trigger.dev
Workflow & automationAn open-source framework for long-running background jobs written as plain TypeScript code.
Trigger.dev lets developers write background jobs as normal TypeScript, with no timeouts and no separate queue to manage. Long-running tasks, retries, and concurrency are handled by the platform.
It is built for the AI use case in particular: jobs that call models, wait, and run for minutes are first-class rather than fought against.
Where it's ideally used
A strong fit for TypeScript teams running long AI jobs — model calls, pipelines — that outlast a normal serverless request.
Where it doesn't fit
A code-first, TypeScript-centric tool — not for no-code users or Python-only stacks.
