Trigger.dev

Trigger.dev is an open-source web and API platform for developers and teams building AI workflows, background jobs, and fully-managed AI agents in TypeScript.

Key capabilities include:

• Long-running tasks without timeouts, with automatic retries and configurable concurrency controls for production-grade job execution
• Queues and scheduling for durable cron-style workflows and controlled parallel processing
• Observability and monitoring, including logging, tracing, filtering, and alerting destinations (such as Slack, email, or webhooks)
• Realtime connections and streaming, allowing apps to surface run status and stream LLM responses to the frontend via the Realtime API

Pricing: Freemium with usage-based costs, Free includes $5/month credit (10 concurrent runs), Hobby $10/month, Pro $50/month, plus Enterprise custom pricing.

What makes it notable is its combination of a TypeScript-first developer experience with a managed runtime for durable jobs, plus the option to self-host under an Apache 2.0 license, which can suit teams that need control over deployment while keeping strong reliability and observability features.
