# Trigger.dev
## Overview
Trigger.dev is an open-source background job platform for TypeScript: define tasks in code, trigger via events/schedules, get retries and observability built in.
It solves the classic pain: background work (emails, webhooks, data syncs, AI pipelines) that's reliable, visible, and retryable — without building job infrastructure.
Model: tasks as code, runs as durable executions, dashboard for monitoring, schedules and event triggers built in.
## When to use
- Adding background jobs to a TypeScript/Next.js app
- Replacing fragile cron scripts or queue DIY
