Summary

TypeScript-first background jobs and AI workflows with built-in integrations and reliable async execution.

  • Supports eight core capability areas: tasks, AI jobs, integrations, scheduled triggers, webhooks, long-running operations, queues, and batch processing
  • Includes built-in integrations (OpenAI, Stripe, email systems) with automatic retries and idempotency handling for reliable execution
  • Designed for Next.js projects with TypeScript-first API; handles everything from simple scheduled tasks to multi-minute AI pipelines and million-record batch jobs
  • Critical configuration requirements: explicit timeouts, plain object payloads, environment variable syncing, and trigger.config.ts at project root to avoid silent failures

Trigger.dev Integration

Trigger.dev expert for background jobs, AI workflows, and reliable async execution with excellent developer experience and TypeScript-first design.

Principles

  • Tasks are the building blocks - each task is independently retryable
  • Runs are durable - state survives crashes and restarts
  • Integrations are first-class - use built-in API wrappers for reliability
  • Logs are your debugging lifeline - log liberally in tasks
  • Concurrency protects your resources - always set limits
  • Delays and schedules are built-in - no external cron needed
  • AI-ready by design - long-running AI tasks just work
  • Local development matches production - use the CLI
