Trigger.dev is the open source platform for building AI agents and workflows in TypeScript. Long-running tasks with retries, queues, full observability, and elastic scaling.
Previously, the founders built JSON Hero, an open source JSON viewer that is currently used by more than 35k developers a month. Eric was CTO of Code School, an early code learning platform that was acquired in 2015. Matt created two iPad apps that won Apple’s App of the Year.
Durable cron schedules without timeouts; declarative or imperative, multi-tenant support.
What customers say
“With chat.agent, every conversation gets a real machine, which made our durable agents much more straightforward to build. The default tracing and observability make viewing and debugging agentic sessions incredibly easy.”
Graham TremperArenaTrigger.dev customer
“With Trigger.dev, we’ve summarized over a million student interactions in just a couple of weeks. We’re incredibly thankful for tools like Trigger.dev that are empowering us to bring AI-driven solutions to educators and students at scale.Read MagicSchool AI's customer story”
Ben DugganMagicSchool AITrigger.dev customer
“We moved our flick.social workflows from Temporal to Trigger.dev and went from 87% to 100% success. Temporal workers couldn’t stay stable with bursty loads and FFmpeg CPU spikes, which caused queue-depth throttling and missed activities. Trigger.dev handles the load without degrading, and the local testing + observability make diagnosing issues trivial.”

Trigger.dev Releases Version 4.5.7 with Stable Node.js Runtimes
Trigger.dev released version 4.5.7, which stabilizes support for Node.js 24 and 26 runtimes. The update introduces improvements to chat agent turn loop ergonomics, allowing developers to manage turn boundaries and capture stream status more effectively. Additionally, the platform features a redesigned dashboard side menu for improved navigation, and provides enhanced isolation for development branch environments. Several bug fixes were included, specifically addressing local run crashes and improving error reporting for superseded worker versions.

Expansion
Trigger.dev Expands Operations to AWS US West Region
Trigger.dev has expanded its service infrastructure by launching in the AWS US West (Oregon) region (us-west-2). This addition provides a third operational region for the platform, aiming to reduce latency for users with West Coast-based services and APIs. Users can now select this region as a default in the dashboard, with support for existing features including per-region static IPs and AWS PrivateLink for secure, private connectivity to internal resources.
Trigger.dev Adds Native Secret Sync Integration for Infisical
Trigger.dev announced a native integration with the secrets management platform Infisical. This feature allows users to synchronize secrets directly from Infisical into Trigger.dev environment variables without requiring a build-time step or CLI tools. Secrets updated in Infisical are automatically pushed to Trigger.dev, and the integration maintains security best practices by marking these synced variables as secret by default within the Trigger.dev cloud environment.
