Inngest is also an easier to use version of Temporal, for serverless. Currently the major differences are: - Open source: we're fully open source and self-hostable with Apache 2 license. - API Integrations: we're building first class support for popular APIs. That makes it really easy to subscribe to webhooks, and when you do API calls you get good retrying behaviour, automatically dealing with rate limits, and a great logging experience. You can write your own integrations and contribute them (that would be awesome), or keep them private to your own codebase. - React hooks: often background jobs are related to an action a person has done in your app (end-user or an admin tool). We have hooks so you can very easily show the live status of a run exactly how you want. Very soon - Support for Background Functions – we deploy your code so you

can run any length of task. You write the code like any other job in your codebase. Discussion here: https://github.com/triggerdotdev/trigger.dev/discussions/400 - Support for long-running servers (so you can use if you’re not deploying to serverless).

Show HN: Trigger.dev V2 – a Temporal alternative for TypeScript devs

Back in February, we posted a Show HN about building a “developer-first open source Zapier alternative” (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34610686). This was v1 of Trigger.dev. During the months since, we’ve gathered a lot of feedback from early users and realized that what developers actually wanted was more like an easier-to-use Temporal with integrations. Here’s what we’ve learned so far: - Serverless timeouts make it hard for anyone to write reliable background jobs. So our current product makes that easy for Next.js and other full-stack React frameworks. Long-running server support is coming soon. - We simplified the architecture to make it far easier to self-host. This was the most common comment in our previous Show HN. - We made it much easier to contribute to. You can now add new API integrations for any service we don’t alre

ady support. Either publicly (we appreciate PRs) or privately in your existing codebase. We’re open about what we’re building (https://trigger.dev/changelog) and what we’re planning on doing next (https://trigger.dev#roadmap) as we believe community feedback ensures that we’re solving real problems. So here’s where we’re at, and where we’re headed: [x] Easy self-hosting. [x] Serverless. Long-running Jobs on your serverless backend. [x] Integration kit. Build your own integrations, or use ours. [x] Bring-Your-Own-Auth. You can now authenticate integrations as your users. [x] Dashboard. View every Task in every Run. [x] Cloud service. No deployment required. [x] React hooks. Easily update your UI with Job progress. [x] React frameworks. Support for Next.js, Astro, Remix, Express. [ ] More frameworks. Support for SvelteKit, Nuxt.js, Fastify, Redwood. [ ] Background functions. Offload long or intense tasks to our infrastructure. [ ] Long-running servers. Use Trigger.dev from your long-running backend. [ ] Polling Triggers. Subscribe to changes without webhooks. [ ] And lots more… I’d love to hear your thoughts on background jobs. Have we missed anything off the list? What should we be building next? https://github.com/triggerdotdev/trigger.dev
