Realtime keeps your users updated with live progress from your background tasks. Show progress bars, AI/LMM streaming responses, and AI agent observability. Use the Realtime API for live updates and React hooks to easily integrate Trigger.dev into your apps.
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!
