Develop Workers

Develop and deploy custom Workers to extend the JFrog Platform with TypeScript. Every Worker type can be created with any supported method. Start by choosing what to build, then how to create and manage it.

Choose a Worker Type

Workers appear in the Platform UI as three types. See Worker Types for the full overview.

Event-Driven Workers

Run when Artifactory, Access, or Runtime events occur. Intercept uploads, downloads, tokens, and more. Browse the full catalog in Worker Event Types.

HTTP-Triggered Workers

Run on demand via REST API or CLI. Useful for integrations and webhook-driven automation. See Configure HTTP-Triggered Worker.

Scheduled Workers

Run on a cron schedule for periodic sync, cleanup, or scanning. See Configure Scheduled Worker.

Create and Manage Workers

All five methods support Event-driven, HTTP-triggered, and Scheduled Workers. Details for every method are on one page: Create and Manage Workers. The CLI is recommended for production and CI/CD.

JFrog CLI

Recommended for production. Scaffold locally, unit-test, dry-run, and deploy from the terminal or CI.

Platform UI

In-browser TypeScript editor with autocompletion and a built-in testing pane. Ideal for exploring and validating quickly.

REST API

Full programmatic create, update, test, execute, and execution history for your own tools and pipelines.

MCP Server

Create and manage Workers with natural language in a compatible MCP client, using the Workers MCP tools.

Terraform

Declare Workers as infrastructure next to repositories and other platform resources.

Additional Resources

Use these guides with any creation method and Worker type.

TypeScript Code for Workers
