Trigger.dev

Website | Community | Docs

Trigger.dev is an open source platform that makes it easy for developers to create event-driven background tasks directly in their code.

Features:

• Easily subscribe to webhooks —they work locally without tunnelling.
• Fire your own custom events—a single event can trigger multiple workflows.
• Schedule workflows—easily repeat tasks or use CRON syntax for advanced cases.
• Add long delays inside workflows (up to a year) and they will pick up where they left off.
• When your server goes down it’s not a problem, workflows will reconnect and continue.
• View every step of every run, with data, previews and errors.
• Connect to and authenticate with APIs using our custom integrations.
• If you have a custom use case, we support Fetch for calling any HTTP endpoint or webhooks for subscribing to events from APIs.
• All API calls are automatically retried with exponential back off.
• TypeScript SDK, so whether you’re using JavaScript or TypeScript you will have a great experience.
