July 2024 Summaries

Trigger.dev has launched its version 3 cloud platform, now open to all users without a waitlist and available with three new pricing plans: Free, Hobby, and Pro. The new version addresses key limitations of its predecessor, such as serverless function timeouts, long-running processes, and double billing issues, by introducing its own infrastructure to manage and scale tasks. Users can self-host using Docker, thanks to the platform's Apache 2.0 licensing, and benefit from transparent pricing with a new Usage page that details task costs. Existing users are automatically placed on the Free plan, which includes $5 of free monthly usage, with options to upgrade for additional features and usage. The platform supports incremental migration from version 2, provides a comprehensive SDK for developers, and is focused on further enhancements like real-time notifications and improved deployment processes.
