Mastra and Trigger.dev solve different but complementary problems. Mastra is great for building AI agents, with abstractions for reasoning, memory, tools and observability. Trigger.dev is an agent-agnostic cloud runtime: capable of running long-running compute defined TypeScript with retries, queues, waitpoints, and observability.

We do plan on adding our own AI primitives in the future, but we will also always aim to be framework agnostic. Frameworks like Mastra, Vercel’s AI SDK, etc, pair really well with us; you get agent features on top of our execution layer that’s reliable at scale. We think the best solution for developers gives them optionality to use the tools they’re already familiar with.
