SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This skill provides a structured approach to building and managing background tasks, queues, and rate-limited executions using Trigger.dev, reducing manual orchestration and the risk of errors.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Task creation and orchestration with the Trigger.dev SDK v3.
  • Shared queues with configurable concurrency limits to control throughput.
  • Retry strategies with exponential backoff and optional jitter for reliability.
  • Support for email tasks and event-driven workflows, triggered from app code or APIs.
  • Easy integration with tRPC routes and Better Auth hooks for triggering jobs.
  • Local development workflow using a background worker to test queues and retries.

Quick Start

Install the trigger-jobs skill in your project, configure trigger.config.ts to include the skill's directory, and start the local worker. Then enqueue a sample task to observe it execute and report results.

FAQPage Schema
How do I orchestrate background jobs with queues in a TypeScript application?

You can orchestrate background jobs by using Trigger.dev v3 to coordinate shared queues and concurrency limits in your Node and web applications. This reduces manual orchestration and the risk of errors.

What's the best way to configure retry policies for event-driven workflows?

The best way to configure retry policies for event-driven workflows is by applying retry strategies with exponential backoff and optional jitter via the Trigger.dev SDK v3.

How do I test background jobs and queues during local development?

You test background jobs and queues during local development by configuring trigger.config.ts to include the skill's directory and starting the local background worker to observe task execution and retries.

Can I use task scheduling for email tasks triggered from tRPC routes?

Yes, task scheduling supports email tasks and event-driven workflows triggered from app code or APIs, including easy integration with tRPC routes and Better Auth hooks.

When do I need to configure concurrency limits for background tasks?

You need to configure concurrency limits for background tasks when you want to control throughput on shared queues, ensuring rate-limited executions do not overwhelm your Node and web applications.

Why use Trigger.dev v3 instead of manual orchestration for scheduled tasks?

Using Trigger.dev v3 instead of manual orchestration for scheduled tasks provides structured task definitions, queue configuration, and retry policies, reducing the risk of errors in asynchronous processing.
