About Trigger.dev
Trigger.dev is an open source, MIT-licensed platform for building AI workflows in TypeScript that can be self-hosted. Its mission is to enable developers to create workflows directly in their codebase, rather than in unfamiliar UI or low-code tools. The company was founded by Matt, Dan, James and Eric—four founders with a track record in open source and product, including the creation of JSON Hero, an open source JSON viewer used by more than 35,000 developers per month, and Eric’s tenure as CTO of Code School, which was acquired in 2015. Trigger.dev participated in Y Combinator’s W23 batch, and its YC deal offers 12 months of unlimited workflows with 100,000 runs per month for free, with YC Alumni status providing six months of unlimited workflows with 50,000 runs per month for free. The platform benefits from an open source contributor community and a growing library of API integrations.
