Trigger.dev

Open-source background jobs for TypeScript. Long-running tasks, retries, scheduled (cron) tasks and full observability.

Visit Trigger.dev (opens in a new tab)

Trigger.dev lets you write background tasks as ordinary TypeScript in your codebase. It handles queuing, retries, concurrency and long-running execution for you.

Why it’s useful

  • Scheduled tasks use standard cron syntax. Check an expression with the Cron Expression Explainer before you deploy.
  • No timeouts: tasks can run far longer than a typical serverless function allows.
  • Observability: every run is traced and logged in the dashboard.
  • Open source (Apache 2.0) with a managed cloud option.
