Tierly uses Trigger to orchestrate 10+ AI models for competitive pricing analysis.

Each analysis: dozens of scraping tasks, human review gates, and real-time progress updates.

How they built it 🧵

We've just shipped 5 Trigger Skills. Install them and your AI coding assistant will automatically gain in-depth Trigger knowledge.

Give your AI agent a "brake pedal".

Autonomous agents are cool, but scary in production.

You don't want an agent sending emails to 10k customers without a check.

Introducing the "Waitpoint" pattern 🧵

New in the dashboard → A Limits page

🎛️ See rate limits, quotas, and plan features
📈 Track API token usage in real-time
⭐ Upgrade if you need more of anything

Run Python scripts from your TypeScript background tasks using our Python build extension.

No separate Python server. No complex orchestration. Just add your .py files and go. 🧵

Today we shipped a small but long overdue improvement to our date picker UI with the help of shadcn.

Enter a company name. The smart spreadsheet does the research.

Built with Trigger + Exa + AI SDK + Supabase.

Each column is a separate task running in parallel. Trigger Realtime updates the cells live.

Full example you can fork and extend ↓

In case you missed it; here are some of the things we shipped in December:

→ Deploy using Trigger's own build servers
→ Batch trigger improvements
→ Faster cold starts with zstd compression
→ Debounce task runs
→ Claude Agent SDK guide and examples

We started the year as a background jobs platform.

We ended it as the best way to add AI agents and workflows to your apps.

Here are some of our 2025 highlights and future plans ↓

If you’re building AI agents that can read files, run commands, or modify code, the hard part isn’t calling the model, it’s running those agents safely over time with visibility into what they’re doing.

We’ve just added a guide and examples showing how to do exactly that ↓

Big news: We've raised a $16M Series A led by Standard Capital.

With participation from Y Combinator, Liquid 2, Pioneer Fund, Rebel Fund, CTO Fund, Yuri Sagalov (Wayfinder Ventures) Michael Grinich (WorkOS) and more.

Trigger.dev runs production-grade AI agents and workflows for 30k+ developers.
Trigger.dev | Build and deploy fully-managed AI agents and workflows.
Trigger.dev is the open source platform for building AI workflows in TypeScript. Long-running tasks with retries, queues, observability, and elastic scaling.

We've released native builds for deployments as part of our ongoing effort to improve the reliability of our deployments.

Native builds use our own build server infrastructure instead of third-party providers. Deployments will work the same as before, just more reliably. ↓

GovSignals helps companies find and win government contracts and generates fully compliant proposals in hours instead of months.

They run large ingestion queues, long-running AI workflows and a dual cloud/self-hosted FedRAMP High deployment on Trigger.dev. ↓

We’re expanding the team with positions across multiple roles:

→ Developer Relations Engineer (Europe)
→ Product Engineer (Europe)
→ Senior Backend Engineer (Europe)
→ Support Engineer (Remote)

If you love open source and and are excited about solving challenging technical problems, read on:

🧵 In case you missed it, here's some of the things we shipped in November:

→ Realtime Streams v2
→ Deployments logs in the dashboard
→ Prisma 6 & 7 support
→ Higher concurrency limits and lower prices
December 4, 2025 at 6:00 PM
We’ve just doubled concurrency on every plan and made extra concurrency self-serve and cheaper.

This gives you more headroom by default, and easy scaling when you need it most.

🧩 When does self-hosting make sense?

– When you have strict data residency or regulatory needs
– Private infra without public endpoints
– Control over networking, logs, and runtime
– You prefer owning the stack
– You want predictable performance
November 27, 2025 at 5:00 PM
🧵 In case you missed it, here's a bunch of cool stuff we shipped in October:

→ A new GitHub integration
→ Trigger is now SOC2 Type II Compliant
→ We've moved our logs to ClickHouse
→ Deploy with locally built images
→ Concurrency limits override
November 25, 2025 at 5:01 PM
Our Prisma Extension has been completely redesigned to support Prisma 7's new architecture, while maintaining full backward compatibility. Whether you're using the traditional provider or the new Rust-free client architecture, we've got you covered.

🧵 Introducing Realtime Streams v2, built with s2.dev, designed for unlimited, reliable, type-safe streaming.

↓ Read about what we've improved, and how to upgrade.

Pallet are on a mission to revolutionize global logistics.

Their AI agent copilot replaces legacy manual freight workflows parsing messy data, reconciling systems, and automating transport operations across the world.

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 ↓
November 6, 2025 at 5:45 PM
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.
November 4, 2025 at 5:00 PM
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.

See how it works ↓

✅ Trigger​.dev is now SOC 2 Type II compliant.

This security milestone reinforces our commitment to keeping your workflows and data secure, so you can focus on building. 👇
