Trigger.dev

Trigger.dev is an open source platform for building, deploying and scaling production AI workflows and agents in TypeScript. Founded in 2022 and headquartered in London, the company provides built-in orchestration, scheduling, monitoring and debugging, alongside long-running tasks, automatic retries, queues and concurrency control. Its stated purpose is to remove infrastructure management from developers: tasks run and scale elastically without servers to maintain. The platform is used by thousands of teams building AI applications and agents, and handles hundreds of millions of executions per month.

The software is available in three forms: the Trigger.dev platform itself, a managed cloud service, and a self-hosted option that lets teams run the platform on their own infrastructure. It is released under the Apache 2.0 licence, and its public repository has attracted more than 15,800 stars on GitHub. Users include Cal.com, Supabase and MagicSchool AI.

Trigger.dev positions itself as a developer-first alternative to traditional automation tools, and its technical scope spans backend task orchestration, job scheduling, queues and concurrency control, observability, long-running tasks, serverless computing and React hooks for frontend integration. The company is backed by Y Combinator and investors active in developer tools.
