Continue to About ↓- What it does
- Trigger.dev is an open-source platform for writing durable TypeScript tasks and AI agents that run for hours or days on managed infrastructure without serverless timeouts.
More detail
- It adds automatic retries, concurrency limits, durable cron schedules, hosted webhooks, human-in-the-loop pauses, realtime streaming to your frontend, and OpenTelemetry-based tracing with LLM token and cost data.
- Best for
- TypeScript and Node.js engineering teams that want long-running background jobs and production AI agents without operating their own queue or worker fleet, including teams using the Vercel AI SDK that need tool calling, approvals, streaming and run-level observability.
- Pricing
- Subscription plus usage-based billing.
More detail
- Free is $0/month with $5/month of free credits, 20 concurrent runs and 1-day log retention.
- Hobby is $10/month with $10 of credits and 50 concurrent runs.
- Pro is $50/month with $50 of credits, 200+ concurrent runs (then $10/month per 50), 25+ seats (then $20/mo
- Main limitation
- Teams whose orchestration logic is not in TypeScript, since Python is only supported as a script executed inside a task.
More detail
- Also a poor fit for very high-volume, very short runs where the per-run invocation fee dominates, or for simple cron jobs that a small server could handle.

About
- Trigger.dev is an open-source platform for writing durable TypeScript tasks and AI agents that run for hours or days on managed infrastructure without serverless timeouts.
- It adds automatic retries, concurrency limits, durable cron schedules, hosted webhooks, human-in-the-loop pauses, realtime streaming to your frontend, and OpenTelemetry-based tracing with LLM token and cost data.
What it helps with
- Serverless function timeouts and the operational burden of running your own queue and workers
- AI agent state lost across page refreshes, redeploys and crashes
- Unreliable async failures without built-in retries and checkpointing
- Hard-to-debug AI runs without per-call traces of tokens, cost and latency
- Overload and thundering-herd effects in multi-tenant workloads without concurrency caps
Capabilities
A practical view of what is available and where limitations apply.
| Offering | Available | Detail |
|---|---|---|
| Durable tasks | Yes | TypeScript task() functions with configurable retry attempts, backoff and randomization. |
| Durable chat agents | Yes | chat.agent runs each multi-turn conversation as one durable task that resumes at the exact line; idle turns cost nothing. |
| Human-in-the-loop pauses | Yes | Runs can pause for tool approval and are not billed for compute while waiting. |
| Durable cron schedules | Yes | Recurring schedules of up to a year that never hit a function timeout. |
| Hosted webhooks | Yes | Trigger.dev hosts and verifies webhook endpoints that start tasks or wake waiting runs. |
| Concurrency and queues | Yes | Caps per task and per tenant, with backlog and scheduling delay shown in the dashboard. |
| Realtime streaming | Yes | Subscribe to run status and stream LLM output from any provider to your frontend. |
| LLM observability | Yes | OpenTelemetry run traces with model, provider, token counts, cost and latency per AI SDK call. |
| Python support | Limited | Python is supported only as a script executed inside a TypeScript task, not as the orchestration language. |
| Compliance | Yes | SOC 2 Type II and GDPR compliant; HIPAA requires a signed BAA at $500/month. |
