Trigger.dev

In case you missed it; here are some of the things we shipped in December: → Deploy using Trigger's own build servers 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 infra instead of relying on third-parties. → Batch trigger improvements We've significantly improved our batch trigger system with support for larger payloads, streaming ingestion, and increased batch sizes. → Faster cold starts with zstd compression We've enabled zstd compression by default for deployment images, improving cold start times when images need to be pulled to worker nodes. → Debounce task runs Consolidate multiple triggers into a single execution by debouncing task runs with a unique key and delay window. → Login with Google: You can now create an account or login to Trigger with your Google account. → Bun runtime upgraded to v1.3.3 We've upgraded our Bun deployment runtime from v1.2.20 to v1.3.3, giving you access to the latest improvements in JavaScript execution speed and Bun's evolving ecosystem. → Claude Agent SDK guide and examples We’ve added a guide and examples showing how to pair the Claude Agent SDK with Trigger to run long-running, multi-step Claude agents safely with durable execution, retries, streaming, and full observability. https://lnkd.in/eWZbZeiM To see everything we've shipped, check out our changelog: https://lnkd.in/deDJcnse

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 ↓ - v4 shipped with a completely rebuilt run engine. Warm starts are now 100-300ms instead of cold-starting every time. Waitpoints let you pause a run mid-execution; wait for a webhook callback or human approval, without paying for compute while you wait. - We built an MCP server. AI tools like Cursor and Claude can trigger tasks, inspect runs and deploy code. We also added a custom agent rules file so AI-generated task code follows patterns that actually work. - Realtime Streams v2 fixed most of the pain points: no more chunk limits, auto-reconnects when connections drop, 28-day retention. Type-safe end-to-end streaming straight to your apps. - Our infrastructure upgrades included: → GitHub integration that deploys on push and spins up preview branches per PR → Multi-region support → Static IPs for whitelisting - We made self-hosting the platform much easier using Docker and Kubernetes, with new self-hosting guides for each, and we crossed 13k GitHub stars, and have 4k+ members in our Discord server. We really appreciate all of the support from our open source community! - Other shipped features include; Python support, Prisma 6/7, Bun runtime, native builds, debounced triggers with around ~70 notable changelog entries added this year → https://lnkd.in/deDJcnse - We're also now SOC 2 Type II certified. The certification demonstrates that our security controls, policies, and procedures meet the highest industry standards for protecting customer data. - We raised a Series A, led by Standard Capital, with participation from Y Combinator, and other world-class investors. - We've also welcomed 3 new team members and are hiring across multiple roles in the UK and Europe (apply on our website!) So, what's next? You can expect significant improvements to the existing platform. Starting with more advanced observability features and faster run starts using MicroVMs. We'll ship more integrations with common third-party services so you can get started faster or get your data out of Trigger.dev. If you're building anything requiring background tasks, long-running processes, or AI agents & workflows, get started with Trigger for free: https://trigger.dev

If you’re building AI agents with Claude 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. → Claude Agent SDK for agent loops, tools, MCP, and context → Trigger for durable execution, retries, streaming, human-in-the-loop and observability This works especially well for long-running or multi-step agents. You can pause, retry, stream output, and inspect every step without building your own orchestration layer. → Claude Agent SDK setup guide: Demonstrates running Claude in an agent loop as a durable Trigger task, with file tools, permissions, retries, and full logs. https://lnkd.in/eWZbZeiM → GitHub wiki agent: It clones any public repo and answers questions about the codebase using Claude, with full execution history and retries. Results are streamed live straight to the frontend using Trigger Realtime v2. https://lnkd.in/e2QtxJpt → Changelog generator agent: It explores GitHub commits, intelligently fetches diffs on demand, reasons about unclear changes, and produces developer-friendly changelogs. https://lnkd.in/etyvRC-3

Big news: Trigger.dev has raised a $16M Series A led by Standard Capital, with participation from Y Combinator, Liquid 2 Ventures, Pioneer Fund, Rebel Fund, CTO Fund, Yuri Sagalov (Wayfinder Ventures), Michael Grinich (WorkOS) and more. We help developers build and run production-grade AI agents and workflows, executing hundreds of millions of runs each month for 30,000+ developers. Next up: deeper observability features, faster run starts with MicroVMs, adding new primitives for building safer, more capable agents... and we’re hiring across multiple roles to help us build it → https://lnkd.in/etRyRCNE

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.

In case you missed it, here's some of the things we shipped in November: → Realtime Streams v2 We've added Realtime Streams v2, built with s2.dev, designed for unlimited, reliable and fully type-safe streaming. → Deployments logs in the dashboard When using our GitHub integration, deployment logs are now streamed to the dashboard, making it easier to debug builds and deployments. → Prisma 6 & 7 support A complete redesign of our Prisma extension with three modes to support Prisma 6.x, 7.x, and everything in between. → Higher concurrency limits and lower prices We’ve just doubled concurrency on every plan and made extra concurrency self-serve and cheaper. ↓ Read about all of our latest features in our Changelog https://lnkd.in/deDJcnse

We're co-hosting a dev tools pub drinks in London next week. If you are in town and want to hang out with a bunch of dev tool people: https://luma.com/p926iz67

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. ⇉ Concurrency limits on production are now: Free: 20 prod (was 10) Hobby: 50 (was 25) Pro: 200 (was 100) Burst mode still lets you hit 2× when work spans queues. ⇉ You can now buy more concurrency from the dashboard on the Pro plan. Bundles of 50 costs $10/mo (5× cheaper). You can then allocate it to any environment or preview branch. Read the full changelog about our higher concurrency limits and lower prices here: https://lnkd.in/eGEcZ-Uy
