Trigger.dev: Self-hostable TypeScript platform for long-running tasks and AI Agent workflows

Trigger.dev offers a JavaScript/TypeScript SDK: developers write tasks in their own codebase and export them, each identified by a unique id, and the run function can execute code of any duration with no timeout. The platform includes durable retries, queues, idempotency, checkpointing, atomic versioning, durable cron scheduling up to a year, real-time subscriptions and LLM streaming, React hooks, batchTrigger, structured I/O with runtime validation, wait/pause, concurrency queues, dev/preview/staging/prod environments, and vCPU and memory spec configuration. It emphasizes runtime freedom, supporting browsers, Python scripts, FFmpeg and other system packages, plus full logging, tracing, alerting and tag filtering. For developers used to writing backend tasks or AI agents in TypeScript, this removes the work of building retries, queues and observability yourself, so long-running tasks no longer need to fit Lambda's timeout limits. Teams choosing self-hosting can deploy via Docker Compose or the official Helm chart to a Kubernetes cluster, at the cost of losing the platform's autoscaling and maintaining the infrastructure themselves.
