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.
