So, what's next?

You can expect significant improvements to the existing platform. Starting with more advanced observability features and faster run starts using MicroVMs. We'll ship more integrations with common third-party services so you can get started faster or get your data out of Trigger.

We raised a Series A, led by @Standard_Cap, with participation from @ycombinator and other world-class investors.

We've also welcomed 3 new team members and are hiring across multiple roles in the UK and Europe (apply on our website!)

We're now SOC 2 Type II certified. The certification demonstrates that our security controls, policies, and procedures meet the highest industry standards for protecting customer data.

...and we crossed 13k GitHub stars, and have 4k+ members in our Discord. We really appreciate all of the support from our open source community!

We made self-hosting the platform much easier using Docker and Kubernetes, with new self-hosting guides for each...

Realtime Streams v2 fixed most of the pain points: no more chunk limits, auto-reconnects when connections drop, 28-day retention.

Type-safe end-to-end streaming straight to your apps.

We built an MCP server. AI tools like Cursor and Claude can trigger tasks, inspect runs and deploy code. We also added a custom agent rules file so AI-generated task code follows patterns that actually work.

Building with Trigger has never been easier.

v4 shipped with a completely rebuilt run engine. Warm starts are now 100-300ms instead of cold-starting every time.

Waitpoints let you pause a run mid-execution; wait for a webhook callback or human approval, without paying for compute while you wait.

We started the year as a background jobs platform.

We ended it as the best way to add AI agents and workflows to your apps.

Here are some of our 2025 highlights and future plans ↓
December 29, 2025 at 5:00 PM
→ Changelog generator agent:
It explores GitHub commits, intelligently fetches diffs on demand, reasons about unclear changes, and produces developer-friendly changelogs.
December 23, 2025 at 5:00 PM
→ GitHub wiki agent:
It clones any public repo and answers questions about the codebase using Claude, with full execution history and retries. Results are streamed live straight to the frontend using Trigger Realtime v2.

If you’re building AI agents that can read files, run commands, or modify code, the hard part isn’t calling the model, it’s running those agents safely over time with visibility into what they’re doing.

We’ve just added a guide and examples showing how to do exactly that ↓

If you prefer to trigger a deployment without waiting for it to complete, use the --detach flag:

Deploy with native builds using the --native-build-server flag.

Build logs are streamed directly to the dashboard in real-time, so you can monitor progress of your deployments.
December 15, 2025 at 5:00 PM
We've released native builds for deployments as part of our ongoing effort to improve the reliability of our deployments.

Native builds use our own build server infrastructure instead of third-party providers. Deployments will work the same as before, just more reliably. ↓

GovSignals helps companies find and win government contracts and generates fully compliant proposals in hours instead of months.

They run large ingestion queues, long-running AI workflows and a dual cloud/self-hosted FedRAMP High deployment on Trigger.dev. ↓

→ Higher concurrency limits and lower prices
We’ve just doubled concurrency on every plan and made extra concurrency self-serve and cheaper.
December 4, 2025 at 6:00 PM
→ Prisma 6 & 7 support
A complete redesign of our Prisma extension with three modes to support Prisma 6.x, 7.x, and everything in between.
December 4, 2025 at 6:00 PM
→ Deployments logs in the dashboard
When using our GitHub integration, deployment logs are now streamed to the dashboard, making it easier to debug builds and deployments.
December 4, 2025 at 6:00 PM
→ Realtime Streams v2
We've added Realtime Streams v2, built with s2.dev, designed for unlimited, reliable and fully type-safe streaming.
December 4, 2025 at 6:00 PM
We’ve just doubled concurrency on every plan and made extra concurrency self-serve and cheaper.

This gives you more headroom by default, and easy scaling when you need it most.

③ Modern Mode (Prisma 7+)

The future is here. Prisma 7's new prisma-client removes Rust dependencies entirely, enabling faster installs and simpler deployments.
November 19, 2025 at 3:00 PM
② Engine-Only Mode (Prisma 6.7+ with custom output)

For teams using Prisma 6.7+ with a custom output directory but still using the Rust-based engine. This mode gives you control over the client generation process, but will take care of installing the engine binaries for you when deploying.
November 19, 2025 at 3:00 PM
① Legacy Mode (Prisma 6.x and earlier)

Use this when you're running Prisma 6.x or earlier with the standard prisma-client-js provider.
