Trigger.dev
Open-source (Apache 2.0) TypeScript platform for durable AI agents and long-running workflows: tasks are plain async functions with no timeouts, checkpoint-resume so waiting agents use no compute, retries, queues, human-in-the-loop waitpoints, realtime streaming to your frontend and OpenTelemetry tracing. New (Oct 26, 2026): hosted webhook endpoints declared in code, verified for 40+ sources like Slack, Stripe and GitHub, that start tasks and agents. Self-host or use the cloud: Free $0/mo with $5 of compute credits, Hobby $10/mo, Pro $50/mo, then usage-based compute.
