Trigger.dev Tasks

Build durable background tasks that run reliably with automatic retries, queuing, and observability.

When to Use

• Creating background jobs or async workflows
• Building AI agents that need long-running execution
• Processing webhooks, emails, or file uploads
• Scheduling recurring tasks (cron)
• Any work that shouldn't block your main application

Critical Rules

1. Always use @trigger.dev/sdk — never use deprecated client.defineJob
2. Check result.ok before accessing result.output from triggerAndWait()
3. Never use Promise.all with triggerAndWait() or wait.* calls
4. Export tasks from files in your trigger/ directory
