About

Trigger.dev is an open-source background jobs and workflow platform built specifically for TypeScript and JavaScript developers who need to run long-running, durable async tasks from serverless and edge environments where execution time is constrained. The core problem Trigger.dev solves is the serverless timeout ceiling: functions on Vercel, Netlify, AWS Lambda, and similar platforms have execution limits measured in seconds or minutes, making it impossible to run tasks like AI inference pipelines, video processing jobs, bulk data operations, or multi-step API workflows directly in a serverless function. Trigger.dev offloads these tasks to a durable execution runtime that can run for hours or days.

About

Bruno is an open-source API client and testing tool — a lightweight, offline-first, git-friendly alternative to Postman and Insomnia — enabling developers to explore, test, and document APIs with collections stored as plain-text Bru files in the project filesystem rather than in cloud-synced proprietary formats. Created by a solo founder in 2022 and growing to a 9-person team by late 2024, Bruno operates with an unusual philosophy: the founder publicly declined 8 venture capital offers to preserve product freedom and build toward profitability, with the core Bruno client remaining free and open-source (MIT license) while the Golden Edition provides enterprise features for commercial revenue. Pro and Ultimate paid editions launched in 2024.
