Trigger.dev
Trigger.dev
Open-source platform for long-running AI tasks in TypeScript, with checkpointing and waitpoints.
Overview
Trigger.dev runs long-running tasks with retries, queues and observability. Tasks are durable through checkpointing, and Waitpoints add human-in-the-loop judgment at critical decision points. Self-host with Docker or Kubernetes, or use the cloud service.
