SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Trigger.dev patterns provide a robust framework to orchestrate asynchronous work, scheduling, retries, and complex workflows across a modern codebase.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Define jobs with id, name, version, and triggers (event, cron, or scheduled) to run in response to real-world events.
  • Built-in orchestration for multi-step tasks, retries with backoff, and delayed execution to handle transient failures.
  • Stepwise task execution using a context-aware IO, parallel or sequential task runs, and webhook/handler support for external events.
  • Scattered across modules and services to enable server-first architectures and reliable background processing.

Quick Start

Install and configure the Trigger.dev client in your app, then define and trigger your first background job.

FAQPage Schema
How do I schedule background jobs with cron triggers in TypeScript?▼

To schedule background jobs with cron triggers in TypeScript, define a job structure with a version and a scheduled trigger. Trigger.dev patterns support cron-based execution for reliable server-side workflows.

How do I retry failed background jobs with backoff in TypeScript?▼

Retry failed background jobs with backoff by leveraging built-in orchestration in Trigger.dev patterns. The framework handles transient failures automatically during multi-step task execution.

What is the best way to orchestrate delayed workflows for user events?▼

Orchestrating delayed workflows for user events is best handled using context-aware IO for stepwise task execution. Trigger.dev patterns enable parallel or sequential task runs for reliable background processing.

Do I need the Trigger.dev SDK to run background jobs and event triggers?▼

Yes, you need the Trigger.dev SDK integration to run background jobs and event triggers. The SDK provides the client required to define job structures and handle external webhook events.

Can I run parallel background tasks for server-first architectures?▼

Yes, you can run parallel background tasks for server-first architectures using context-aware IO. Trigger.dev patterns support both parallel and sequential task runs scattered across modules.

Why use Trigger.dev patterns over other background job tools?▼

Use Trigger.dev patterns over other background job tools for built-in orchestration of multi-step tasks, delayed execution, and automatic retries. It provides a robust framework for complex TypeScript workflows.
