The official 🦋 account for Trigger.dev
Our open source projects are designed to teach core concepts. The product image generator demonstrates how to:

→ Batch trigger multiple AI generations in parallel
→ Trigger runs from the frontend and subscribe to updates
→ Pause task execution for webhooks with Waitpoints

Here's how it works ↓

The recent AWS outage reminded us how much even the best providers can fall over sometimes.

→ So we made our deploys more resilient.

You can now deploy locally built Docker images even when our build service is down.

You can now override the concurrency limits on a queue from the API or dashboard.

Very useful if you need to temporarily increase the concurrency for a queue or update the concurrency limits programmatically.

We've been putting a ton of work into Cloud reliability and performance lately, especially during peak usage:

1️⃣ Implemented a new scheduling strategy
2️⃣ Deployed a custom k8s operator
3️⃣ Configured parallel image pulls and aggressive garbage collection

🚀 You can now connect your GitHub repo to Trigger so tasks deploy automatically when you push. No need to manually deploy or use custom CI scripts.

✨ Adding AI agents to your app shouldn’t require you to re-architect your product.

With Trigger you start with a foundation that compliments your stack and scales with you. Here are the 6 main pillars we provide ↓

Developers need to be able to easily debug when things go wrong.

We use @opentelemetry (OTEL) for our run logs, giving you a lot of detailed info about your tasks. It also allows us to support:

⚗️ Adding additional instrumentation
🛩️ Exporting your logs and traces to other external tools

Capy is the AI software engineer that ships dozens of features in parallel.

Rather than the usual process of having to run many concurrent Claude sessions, alt-tabbing between terminals, and manually checking progress, the Capy team have re-imagined the AI agent DX from the ground up.👇

When AI agents or workflows call databases or APIs, two things can become really important:

→ having static IPs so you can connect to prod DBs, enterprise APIs etc.
→ running in the right geographical region for low latency or compliance

Trigger now supports both. Here’s how they work 🧵

Global lifecycle hooks let you run shared logic and initialize common resources during task execution across all tasks:

🌍 Register once, run across every task

🛠️ Perfect for logging, alerts, metrics, and shared setup

🔌 'locals' shared state, useful when disconnecting databases during waits

Managing background work isn’t just about running tasks – it’s about controlling how they run. In Trigger you can:

⏸️ Pause queues instantly (demo 👇)
⚡ Prioritize critical runs
📊 Monitor queue stats in detail

Generate professional marketing photos from any source image in our latest open-source example project:

✨Image gen using Replicate & Google's Nano-Banana model
✋ Pauses task execution until Replicate webhook callback is received
⚡️ Trigger and subscribe to runs from Next.js using Realtime

Human-in-the-loop workflows are great for forcing approval steps in AI agents.

Here's how to build one using Trigger ↓

🌍 Automated web monitoring made easy with Trigger and Anchor Browser:

🔥 Our latest example project is an automated Broadway ticket monitor that finds the cheapest same-day shows every day at 5pm ET

Here's what we're working on over the next 3 months and beyond to make building and running AI agents easier:

⚡ Sub-500ms cold starts with MicroVMs
🛠️ Agent toolkit
🔗 GitHub & Vercel integrations
📊 Better logging with ClickHouse
📈 Advanced metrics

Most AI coding rules go stale pretty quickly. You install ⁠a rules file once, forget to update it, and end up with deprecated patterns.

We chose a better approach for our MCP agent rules:

⚡️ Automatic updates via CLI
🛠️ Cross-tool compatibility (10+ editors)
✨ Specialized Trigger-specific rule-sets

HeroUI (⭐25k, 600k monthly downloads) migrated their complex deployment pipeline to Trigger.dev.

Their problem:
⚙️ Managing 3-minute multi-step deployments (build → deploy → CDN → domains) while showing real-time progress to users.

How we helped them solve it👇
