Trigger.dev is a TypeScript-first serverless background job platform with self-hosting support and a React Realtime API. Strait adds multi-language SDK support, full DAG orchestration, and a Postgres-only backend.
Strait
5 SDKs: TypeScript, Python, Go, Ruby, Rust -- build in the language your team knows
Trigger.dev
TypeScript only -- teams using other languages need a different solution
Strait
Full DAG support with step dependencies, conditions, fan-out/fan-in, and approval gates
Trigger.dev
Imperative code chaining with batchTriggerAndWait() for fan-out/fan-in and subtask orchestration
Strait
Postgres-only -- no external dependencies beyond your database
Trigger.dev
Self-hosting requires Postgres + Redis + object storage (Docker Compose or Helm/K8s)
Map your Trigger.dev tasks to Strait workflow DAGs with step conditions and retry policies.
Deploy Strait on your infrastructure and connect it to your Postgres database.
Migrate triggers and schedules to Strait's API-driven or schedule-based invocation model.
Replace TypeScript-specific patterns with multi-language SDK equivalents where needed.
