Trigger.dev
Background job orchestrator for AI and agent apps
AutomationFreemiumLLM-drafted
Part of this entry was LLM-drafted and is being polished.
Trigger.dev runs long, retryable background jobs — perfect for AI pipelines that take minutes (LLM call → process → email → DB write). TypeScript SDK, hosted infrastructure. Used by AI startups for non-realtime work.
Editor's verdict
Right pick for TypeScript builders running AI workloads that don't fit serverless function timeouts (Vercel 60s, Cloudflare 30s). Trigger handles retry, observability, scheduling. Inngest is a direct competitor with similar quality. Pick by SDK preference and pricing.
Use cases
- background job orchestration
- ai pipeline backend
- long-running jobs
