SKU: trigger-dev
Trigger.dev is an open-source platform designed to facilitate the creation and management of background jobs within applications. It allows developers to write workflows using standard asynchronous code, handling tasks such as scheduling, concurrency control, and real-time monitoring. With features like no timeouts, automatic retries, and seamless integration with existing Node.js SDKs, Trigger.dev is particularly suited for AI tasks that require extended execution times. The platform also offers real-time streaming support, making it ideal for applications involving large language models and other AI-driven processes.

Developers seeking to implement reliable background job processing in their applications.
Teams aiming to automate complex workflows without managing server infrastructure.
Organizations looking to integrate AI tasks that often exceed typical serverless timeouts.
Projects requiring real-time task progress updates and monitoring.
Trigger.dev demonstrates high autonomy through its serverless architecture with automatic retry mechanisms (exponential backoff with configurable policies), checkpoint-resume system using CRIU for state preservation, and durable execution patterns. The platform handles task orchestration automatically including error recovery (3+ retry attempts by default), version-controlled deployments that don't affect running tasks, and event-driven resumption of paused workflows. While requiring initial task definitions and triggers setup by developers, it autonomously manages queue processing, elastic scaling across environments (staging/production), and complex workflow dependencies through its parent-child task system with automatic result caching.
