## About Trigger.dev

Trigger.dev is an open-source platform for building and running long-running background jobs, scheduled tasks, and event-driven workflows directly in a team's existing codebase, without the reliability headaches of building queue and retry infrastructure from scratch on top of a generic job queue library. Developers write jobs as regular code in their own repository, using Trigger.dev's SDK to define triggers like a webhook, a schedule, or an event from another part of the system, and the platform handles execution, automatic retries on failure, concurrency control, and full observability into every run. This code-first approach means jobs are version-controlled and reviewed like any other application code, rather than living in a separate no-code automation tool disconnected from a team's usual development workflow and testing practices. A key design goal is supporting long-running tasks, like a job that waits hours or days for a follow-up event, without timing out the way many serverless function platforms would, which matters for workflows like AI pipelines, batch data processing, or multi-step onboarding sequences. Its dashboard gives full visibility into every job run, including logs, execution time, and failure reasons, letting engineers debug a failed background job with the same clarity they'd expect from debugging a regular API request. Trigger.dev is aimed at engineering teams that need dependable background job infrastructure without operating their own queue and worker system.
