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!

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 :)

Trigger is one of those products the more you use it and learn about it the more you wondered how you ever survived before This new Realtime AI is gonna be fun to implement and users are gonna love the magic feeling it gives them Congrats on an epic product 👏

This is sick, streaming updates for AI responses is a game-changer for improving AI flows. Love trigger so much, insane to see the rate of improvement with the product. No-timeouts is also huge - I have specifically been burned by Vercel on this. We'll for sure put this to use - thanks Trigger team

I have used Trigger.dev in many projects, it's just awesome. it's the only solution the enhance your nextjs for background jobs.

So excited to try this out with the product I'm building. LLM streaming will be an absolute game changer!

We're happy customers of Trigger — it's such an amazing platform with carefully crafted DX. Can't imagine going back to a world without Trigger and needing to manually figure out how to run a cron job in our server!

huge fans of trigger. we were nervous to write a cron job from scratch because the scheduling and alerts are such a headache, but then decided to use trigger. never looked back. works flawlessly. congrats on the launch. happy customer here.

Awesome tool! We're using Trigger and we're happy with it. :-) Congrats on the launch! Looking forward to what's next.

It's awesome to be part of MEGA LAUNCH week! Realtime makes it incredibly easy to update your UI from your jobs. It was by far our most requested feature because a) it's really hard to do yourself and b) without it the UX of your app sucks. Streaming makes it especially good if you're building AI apps. You can send multiple streams at once to your UI and use "tools" with the Vercel AI SDK. We're excited to see what Product Hunt thinks of it! 🚀

I recently tried out trigger for the first time and a lot of things clicked for me. Realtime sync is powerful and Iris awesome that open source apps like midday use it under the hood. 🔥

Incredible stuff. Trigger has been a godsend for managing our workflows. This is just another level up - cannot wait to incorporate this into our workflow-oriented product: Flowglad.com Sincerely, A happy Trigger.devcustomer for over a year

I discovered Trigger.dev while searching for a reliable background job provider for building Midday. Being fully serverless, I needed a solution that met all my needs, and Trigger.dev exceeded expectations. They’re constantly improving their product, enabling me to move faster than ever. With the latest V3 and real-time capabilities, we’ve established a robust architecture. Thank you for creating Trigger.dev!

I absolutely love Trigger! Coming from heavy experience with tools like Temporal, BullJS, and other job-based solutions, I’ve got an even greater appreciation for what Trigger brings to the table. We’re leveraging Trigger for our SaaS product, catering to clients ranging from startups to large enterprises. And has become my go-to for new projects. Shoutout to their incredible team for all their support. You guys go above and beyond Keep up the amazing work, team!

Congratulations on this launch guys! Amazed by the speed of how you keep shipping magical releases after each other. And this is going to be super exciting to build with.

Congrats on the launch folks, insane how far the product has come.

Huge Trigger.dev fan here. I've deployed 3 production apps which use Trigger. In many ways a career-shaping product for me as its allowed me to quickly and easily build performant apps for clients in a way I never could do on my own. Best of all, for me, is the team behind it. Hands down one of the best customer support experiences I've had across any product category. Love it guys. My clients do, too.

Been using the self-hosted Trigger for a while - great product! Excited for the launch week (hope I get what I'm after on Friday 😃)

Realtime has been a game-changer for my project. It was incredibly easy to set up and start showing live progress on my background jobs. The team behind it is fantastic, always quick to offer support whenever I’ve had questions. If you want an easy way to make your app more dynamic and responsive while keeping your users updated on background jobs, Trigger.dev and Realtime are a perfect choice!

Congrats on the huge release guys!
