Trigger.dev
Altrincham, Cheshire, United Kingdom
What it is
Trigger.dev is an open source platform for building AI agents and TypeScript workflows through web, API, or self-hosted deployment. Tasks run on managed servers without timeouts, and the pricing FAQ says they can continue as long as needed. Agent features include durable chat, tool calling, streamed responses, and approval gates that pause and resume runs. Reliability tools provide cron schedules, retries, checkpointing, queues, concurrency controls, and task versioning. Run pages show traces, logs, and debugging details, while LLM observability records model, provider, token, cost, and latency information. Tasks can use Python scripts and libraries; build extensions can add dependencies, system packages, browser tooling, and FFmpeg. Integrations include GitHub and Vercel, with compatibility shown for Next.js, AWS, Google Cloud, Azure, Netlify, Cloudflare, and SvelteKit. Trigger.dev supports self-hosting and states SOC 2 Type II, GDPR, and HIPAA Business Associate compliance. A free plan is offered, with paid plans from $10 per month.
