# Defer

**Canonical:** https://apis.io/providers/defer/  
**Website:** https://www.defer.run  
**APIs profiled:** 1

Defer was a TypeScript-first background job and workflow automation platform for Node.js applications that let developers schedule, queue, and orchestrate serverless functions with built-in retries, throttling, concurrency controls, and scheduled (CRON) execution. Defer integrated with frameworks such as Next.js, Remix, and SvelteKit through an SDK and a managed control plane. The defer.run service has since transitioned and the defer.run domain currently redirects to digger.tools; this entry preserves the historical profile and links to the surviving documentation, GitHub organization, and references.
