agentskillexchange Trigger.dev TypeScript Background Jobs Platform
Trigger.dev is an open-source platform for building and deploying long-running background tasks, AI agents, and durable workflows in TypeScript. It provides managed infrastructure with retries, queues, real-time observability, and human-in-the-loop support.
Installation
Use the upstream install or setup path that matches your environment:
- Docker self-hosting guide - use Docker Compose to spin up a Trigger.dev instance
Requirements and caveats from upstream:
- True runtime freedom: Customize your deployed tasks with system packages – run browsers, Python scripts, FFmpeg and more.
- Build extensions - Hook directly into the build system and customize the build process. Run Python scripts, FFmpeg, browsers, and more.

Observability & monitoring: Each run has full tracing and logs. Configure error alerts to catch bugs fast.
Automatic retries - If your task encounters an uncaught error, we automatically attempt to run it again
