Review Trigger.dev?

Trigger.dev is highly praised for its robust background job management capabilities, with makers from HeroUI Chat and Midday highlighting its efficiency in handling queues and infrastructure, allowing them to focus on product development. CopyCopter makers appreciate its scalability and ease of use, especially for NextJS Serverless Apps. Users commend its TypeScript support, clear documentation, and responsive team, making it a preferred choice over other complex and costly solutions.

Hi everyone! I’m James, one of the founders of Trigger.dev. We’re a platform for developers to run backgrounds jobs. We’re open source, using Apache 2.0, not a “weird” or dual license. It’s a simple developer experience with great observability, and the cloud product handles auto-scaling, reliability, and security for you. It’s common when deploying to providers like Vercel that you’ll hit a “timeout” – Trigger.dev has no timeouts. Today I’m excited to announce Realtime, a way to keep your users updated on the progress of tasks. It allows you to subscribe to tasks in your app so you can show progress bars, stream AI responses, show steps in workflows, and more. You can subscribe to changes from your backend or directly in your website using our React hooks. • Receive live updates when tasks start, finish, or fail. • Send data from inside your task to Realtime using our SDK, and now you can stream data too. • Streaming is perfect when you want to send AI responses as they come in. What issues do you have with background jobs? How do you keep your users updated on their progress? I’d love to hear your ideas, experiences and feedback on all of the above. Thanks!

@samejr Hey, James, congratulations on launching Trigger.dev's Realtime feature! 🎉 It looks like an innovative solution for developers seeking seamless background task progress tracking and integration. The ability to show live progress bars, stream AI responses, and provide agent observability seems like a game-changer for creating more dynamic and responsive applications. I'm really curious about how Trigger.dev handles real-time updates specifically within the server component paradigm of Next.js 15. Could you elaborate on how your Realtime API seamlessly works with server components, especially considering their stateless nature? Are there any unique patterns or approaches you've developed to bridge client-side reactivity with server-side rendering?

@samejr @maybemonad We haven't published any examples of this but you can definitely use realtime from a server component using our "backend" realtime API: https://trigger.dev/docs/realtim..., since it's built on ReadableStream and AsyncIterator. I'm hoping to publish a realtime + RSC demo sometime soon 👍

Happy Trigger customer here 👋 Absolutely love the speed that the team ships. Realtime was the last missing piece for us at Papermark to move our workflows from v2 to v3. Excited to see what they ship next :)
