Build and deploy fully managed AI agents and workflows in TypeScript — no timeouts.
In the founder's own words — what this project is, and why it matters.
Trigger.dev is the open-source platform for building AI workflows and background jobs in TypeScript. Long-running tasks run without serverless timeouts, with built-in retries, queues, observability, and elastic scaling. Write tasks directly in your codebase with version control. Supports human-in-the-loop waitpoints, realtime streaming to your frontend, durable cron schedules, and preview branch environments that integrate with Vercel and GitHub workflows.

The repository structure at a glance — we show the tree only, and never expose source contents before purchase.
TypeScript SDK for writing tasks in your codebase. Tasks deploy to Trigger.dev's elastic infrastructure (or self-hosted) and execute in isolated containers. The checkpoint-resume system makes tasks inherently durable. A React hooks package lets your frontend subscribe to run state in real time.
export const helloWorld = task({
id: 'hello-world',
run: async (payload: { message: string }) => {
console.log(payload.message)
