About Trigger.dev
Trigger.dev is reshaping itself into the runtime layer for AI and agent workflows.
Trigger.dev shipped a steady run of v4.4.x releases (4.4.0 through 4.4.5) with a clear theme stack: input streams for bidirectional communication into running tasks, a Query & Dashboards surface with SQL analytics over your run data, deeper MCP server tooling (11 new tools in 4.4.4), an error-tracking dashboard, and a Vercel integration with automatic deploys. Operational polish — task-level TTL defaults, run replay detection, headless CLI flag, longer API key rotation grace — fills the gaps.
