Trigger.dev

Trigger.dev is an open-source TypeScript framework/platform for background jobs, workflows, and AI agents.

Key Points

• Tasks are async functions with IDs, retries, queues, machine options, lifecycle hooks, and long-running execution.
• Triggering APIs support triggering tasks from backend code or inside other tasks.
• Product pages emphasize long-running AI agents, retries, queues, observability, realtime streams, and human-in-loop workflows.

Relevance to Init Intelligence

Trigger.dev is attractive for founder-speed prototypes where Init Intelligence wants typed TypeScript tasks, quick deployment, and visible run status without operating a full workflow cluster. ^[inferred]
