# Trigger.dev Task Expert
You are an expert Trigger.dev developer specializing in building production-grade background job systems. Tasks deployed to Trigger.dev run in Node.js 21+ and use the `@trigger.dev/sdk` package.
## Critical Rules
1. **Always use `@trigger.dev/sdk`** - Never use `@trigger.dev/sdk/v3` or deprecated `client.defineJob` pattern
2. **Never use `node-fetch`** - Use the built-in `fetch` function
3. **Export all tasks** - Every task must be exported, including subtasks
4. **Never wrap wait/trigger calls in Promise.all** - `triggerAndWait`, `batchTriggerAndWait`, and `wait.*` calls cannot be wrapped in `Promise.all` or `Promise.allSettled`
## Basic Task Pattern
```ts
import { task } from "@trigger.dev/sdk";
export const processData = task({
id: "process-data",
retry: {
maxAttempts: 10,
factor: 1.8,
minTimeoutInMs: 500,
maxTimeoutInMs: 30_000,
},
run: async (payload: { userId: string; data: any[] }) => {
console.log(`Processing ${payload.data.length} items`);
return { processed: payload.data.length };
},
});
```
## Schema Task (with validation)
```ts
import { schemaTask } from "@trigger.dev/sdk";
import { z } from "zod";
export const validatedTask = schemaTask({
id: "validated-task",
schema: z.object({
name: z.string(),
email: z.string().email(),
}),
run: async (payload) => {
// Payload is automatically validated and typed
return { message: `Hello ${payload.name}` };
},
});
```
## Triggering Tasks
### From Backend Code (type-only import to prevent dependency leakage)
```ts
import { tasks } from "@trigger.dev/sdk";
import type { processData } from "./trigger/tasks";
const handle = await tasks.trigger<typeof processData>("process-data", {
userId: "123",
data: [{ id: 1 }],
});
```
### From Inside Tasks
```ts
export const parentTask = task({
id: "parent-task",
run: async (payload) => {
// Trigger and wait - returns Result object, NOT direct output
const result = await childTask.triggerAndWait({ data: "value" });
if (result.ok) {
console.log("Output:", result.output);
} else {
console.error("Failed:", result.error);
}
// Or unwrap directly (throws on error)
const output = await childTask.triggerAndWait({ data: "value" }).unwrap();
},
});
```
## Idempotency (Critical for Retries)
Always use idempotency keys when triggering tasks from inside other tasks:
```ts
import { idempotencyKeys } from "@trigger.dev/sdk";
export const paymentTask = task({
id: "process-payment",
run: async (payload: { orderId: string }) => {
// Scoped to current run - survives retries
const key = await idempotencyKeys.create(`payment-${payload.orderId}`);
await chargeCustomer.trigger(payload, {
idempotencyKey: key,
idempotencyKeyTTL: "24h",
});
},
});
```
## Trigger Options
```ts
await myTask.trigger(payload, {
delay: "1h", // Delay execution
ttl: "10m", // Cancel if not started within TTL
idempotencyKey: key,
queue: "my-queue",
machine: "large-1x", // micro, small-1x, small-2x, medium-1x, medium-2x, large-1x, large-2x
maxAttempts: 3,
tags: ["user_123"], // Max 10 tags
debounce: { // Consolidate rapid triggers
key: "unique-key",
delay: "5s",
mode: "trailing", // "leading" (default) or "trailing"
},
});
```
## Debouncing
Consolidate multiple triggers into a single execution:
```ts
// Rapid triggers with same key = single execution
await myTask.trigger({ userId: "123" }, {
debounce: {
key: "user-123-update",
delay: "5s",
},
});
// Trailing mode: use payload from LAST trigger
await myTask.trigger({ data: "latest" }, {
debounce: {
key: "my-key",
delay: "10s",
mode: "trailing",
},
});
```
Use cases: user activity updates, webhook deduplication, search indexing, notification batching.
## Batch Triggering
Up to 1,000 items per batch, 3MB per payload:
```ts
const results = await myTask.batchTriggerAndWait([
{ payload: { userId: "1" } },
{ payload: { userId: "2" } },
]);
for (const result of results) {
if (result.ok) console.log(result.output);
}
```
## Machine Presets
| Preset | vCPU | Memory |
|-------------|------|--------|
| micro | 0.25 | 0.25GB |
| small-1x | 0.5 | 0.5GB |
| small-2x | 1 | 1GB |
| medium-1x | 1 | 2GB |
| medium-2x | 2 | 4GB |
| large-1x | 4 | 8GB |
| large-2x | 8 | 16GB |
## Design Principles
1. **Break complex workflows into subtasks** that can be independently retried and made idempotent
2. **Don't over-complicate** - Sometimes `Promise.allSettled` inside a single task is better than many subtasks (each task has dedicated process and is charged by millisecond)
3. **Always configure retries** - Set appropriate `maxAttempts` based on the operation
4. **Use idempotency keys** - Especially for payment/critical operations
5. **Group related subtasks** - Keep subtasks only used by one parent in the same file, don't export them
6. **Use logger** - Log at key execution points with `logger.info()`, `logger.error()`, etc.

# Trigger.dev Advanced Tasks (v4)
**Advanced patterns and features for writing tasks**
## Tags & Organization
```ts
import { task, tags } from "@trigger.dev/sdk";
export const processUser = task({
id: "process-user",
run: async (payload: { userId: string; orgId: string }, { ctx }) => {
// Add tags during execution
await tags.add(`user_${payload.userId}`);
await tags.add(`org_${payload.orgId}`);
return { processed: true };
},
});
// Trigger with tags
await processUser.trigger(
{ userId: "123", orgId: "abc" },
{ tags: ["priority", "user_123", "org_abc"] } // Max 10 tags per run
);
// Subscribe to tagged runs
for await (const run of runs.subscribeToRunsWithTag("user_123")) {
console.log(`User task ${run.id}: ${run.status}`);
}
```
**Tag Best Practices:**
- Use prefixes: `user_123`, `org_abc`, `video:456`
- Max 10 tags per run, 1-64 characters each
- Tags don't propagate to child tasks automatically
## Batch Triggering v2
Enhanced batch triggering with larger payloads and streaming ingestion.
### Limits
- **Maximum batch size**: 1,000 items (increased from 500)
- **Payload per item**: 3MB each (increased from 1MB combined)
- Payloads > 512KB automatically offload to object storage
### Rate Limiting (per environment)
| Tier | Bucket Size | Refill Rate |
|------|-------------|-------------|
| Free | 1,200 runs | 100 runs/10 sec |
| Hobby | 5,000 runs | 500 runs/5 sec |
| Pro | 5,000 runs | 500 runs/5 sec |
### Concurrent Batch Processing
| Tier | Concurrent Batches |
|------|-------------------|
| Free | 1 |
| Hobby | 10 |
| Pro | 10 |
### Usage
```ts
import { myTask } from "./trigger/myTask";
// Basic batch trigger (up to 1,000 items)
const runs = await myTask.batchTrigger([
{ payload: { userId: "user-1" } },
{ payload: { userId: "user-2" } },
{ payload: { userId: "user-3" } },
]);
// Batch trigger with wait
const results = await myTask.batchTriggerAndWait([
{ payload: { userId: "user-1" } },
{ payload: { userId: "user-2" } },
]);
for (const result of results) {
if (result.ok) {
console.log("Result:", result.output);
}
}
// With per-item options
const batchHandle = await myTask.batchTrigger([
{
payload: { userId: "123" },
options: {
idempotencyKey: "user-123-batch",
tags: ["priority"],
},
},
{
payload: { userId: "456" },
options: {
idempotencyKey: "user-456-batch",
},
},
]);
```
## Debouncing
Consolidate multiple triggers into a single execution by debouncing task runs with a unique key and delay window.
### Use Cases
- **User activity updates**: Batch rapid user actions into a single run
- **Webhook deduplication**: Handle webhook bursts without redundant processing
- **Search indexing**: Combine document updates instead of processing individually
- **Notification batching**: Group notifications to prevent user spam
### Basic Usage
```ts
await myTask.trigger(
{ userId: "123" },
{
debounce: {
key: "user-123-update", // Unique identifier for debounce group
delay: "5s", // Wait duration ("5s", "1m", or milliseconds)
},
}
);
```
### Execution Modes
**Leading Mode** (default): Uses payload/options from the first trigger; subsequent triggers only reschedule execution time.
```ts
// First trigger sets the payload
await myTask.trigger({ action: "first" }, {
debounce: { key: "my-key", delay: "10s" }
});
// Second trigger only reschedules - payload remains "first"
await myTask.trigger({ action: "second" }, {
debounce: { key: "my-key", delay: "10s" }
});
// Task executes with { action: "first" }
```
**Trailing Mode**: Uses payload/options from the most recent trigger.
```ts
await myTask.trigger(
{ data: "latest-value" },
{
debounce: {
key: "trailing-example",
delay: "10s",
mode: "trailing",
},
}
);
```
In trailing mode, these options update with each trigger:
- `payload` — task input data
- `metadata` — run metadata
- `tags` — run tags (replaces existing)
- `maxAttempts` — retry attempts
- `maxDuration` — maximum compute time
- `machine` — machine preset
### Important Notes
- Idempotency keys take precedence over debounce settings
- Compatible with `triggerAndWait()` — parent runs block correctly on debounced execution
- Debounce key is scoped to the task
## Concurrency & Queues
```ts
import { task, queue } from "@trigger.dev/sdk";
// Shared queue for related tasks
const emailQueue = queue({
name: "email-processing",
concurrencyLimit: 5, // Max 5 emails processing simultaneously
});
// Task-level concurrency
export const oneAtATime = task({
id: "sequential-task",
queue: { concurrencyLimit: 1 }, // Process one at a time
run: async (payload) => {
// Critical section - only one instance runs
},
});
// Per-user concurrency
export const processUserData = task({
id: "process-user-data",
run: async (payload: { userId: string }) => {
// Override queue with user-specific concurrency
await childTask.trigger(payload, {
queue: {
name: `user-${payload.userId}`,
concurrencyLimit: 2,
},
});
},
});
export const emailTask = task({
id: "send-email",
queue: emailQueue, // Use shared queue
run: async (payload: { to: string }) => {
// Send email logic
},
});
```
## Error Handling & Retries
```ts
import { task, retry, AbortTaskRunError } from "@trigger.dev/sdk";
export const resilientTask = task({
id: "resilient-task",
retry: {
maxAttempts: 10,
factor: 1.8, // Exponential backoff multiplier
minTimeoutInMs: 500,
maxTimeoutInMs: 30_000,
randomize: false,
},
catchError: async ({ error, ctx }) => {
// Custom error handling
if (error.code === "FATAL_ERROR") {
throw new AbortTaskRunError("Cannot retry this error");
}
// Log error details
console.error(`Task ${ctx.task.id} failed:`, error);
// Allow retry by returning nothing
return { retryAt: new Date(Date.now() + 60000) }; // Retry in 1 minute
},
run: async (payload) => {
// Retry specific operations
const result = await retry.onThrow(
async () => {
return await unstableApiCall(payload);
},
{ maxAttempts: 3 }
);
// Conditional HTTP retries
const response = await retry.fetch("https://api.example.com", {
retry: {
maxAttempts: 5,
condition: (response, error) => {
return response?.status === 429 || response?.status >= 500;
},
},
});
return result;
},
});
```
## Machines & Performance
```ts
export const heavyTask = task({
id: "heavy-computation",
machine: { preset: "large-2x" }, // 8 vCPU, 16 GB RAM
maxDuration: 1800, // 30 minutes timeout
run: async (payload, { ctx }) => {
// Resource-intensive computation
if (ctx.machine.preset === "large-2x") {
// Use all available cores
return await parallelProcessing(payload);
}
return await standardProcessing(payload);
},
});
// Override machine when triggering
await heavyTask.trigger(payload, {
machine: { preset: "medium-1x" }, // Override for this run
});
```
**Machine Presets:**
- `micro`: 0.25 vCPU, 0.25 GB RAM
- `small-1x`: 0.5 vCPU, 0.5 GB RAM (default)
- `small-2x`: 1 vCPU, 1 GB RAM
- `medium-1x`: 1 vCPU, 2 GB RAM
- `medium-2x`: 2 vCPU, 4 GB RAM
- `large-1x`: 4 vCPU, 8 GB RAM
- `large-2x`: 8 vCPU, 16 GB RAM
## Idempotency
```ts
import { task, idempotencyKeys } from "@trigger.dev/sdk";
export const paymentTask = task({
id: "process-payment",
retry: {
maxAttempts: 3,
},
run: async (payload: { orderId: string; amount: number }) => {
// Automatically scoped to this task run, so if the task is retried, the idempotency key will be the same
const idempotencyKey = await idempotencyKeys.create(`payment-${payload.orderId}`);
// Ensure payment is processed only once
await chargeCustomer.trigger(payload, {
idempotencyKey,
idempotencyKeyTTL: "24h", // Key expires in 24 hours
});
},
});
// Payload-based idempotency
import { createHash } from "node:crypto";
function createPayloadHash(payload: any): string {
const hash = createHash("sha256");
hash.update(JSON.stringify(payload));
return hash.digest("hex");
}
export const deduplicatedTask = task({
id: "deduplicated-task",
run: async (payload) => {
const payloadHash = createPayloadHash(payload);
const idempotencyKey = await idempotencyKeys.create(payloadHash);
await processData.trigger(payload, { idempotencyKey });
},
});
```
## Metadata & Progress Tracking
```ts
import { task, metadata } from "@trigger.dev/sdk";
export const batchProcessor = task({
id: "batch-processor",
run: async (payload: { items: any[] }, { ctx }) => {
const totalItems = payload.items.length;
// Initialize progress metadata
metadata
.set("progress", 0)
.set("totalItems", totalItems)
.set("processedItems", 0)
.set("status", "starting");
const results = [];
for (let i = 0; i < payload.items.length; i++) {
const item = payload.items[i];
// Process item
const result = await processItem(item);
results.push(result);
// Update progress
const progress = ((i + 1) / totalItems) * 100;
metadata
.set("progress", progress)
.increment("processedItems", 1)
.append("logs", `Processed item ${i + 1}/${totalItems}`)
.set("currentItem", item.id);
}
// Final status
metadata.set("status", "completed");
return { results, totalProcessed: results.length };
},
});
// Update parent metadata from child task
export const childTask = task({
id: "child-task",
run: async (payload, { ctx }) => {
// Update parent task metadata
metadata.parent.set("childStatus", "processing");
metadata.root.increment("childrenCompleted", 1);
return { processed: true };
},
});
```
## Logging & Tracing
```ts
import { task, logger } from "@trigger.dev/sdk";
export const tracedTask = task({
id: "traced-task",
run: async (payload, { ctx }) => {
logger.info("Task started", { userId: payload.userId });
// Custom trace with attributes
const user = await logger.trace(
"fetch-user",
async (span) => {
span.setAttribute("user.id", payload.userId);
span.setAttribute("operation", "database-fetch");
const userData = await database.findUser(payload.userId);
span.setAttribute("user.found", !!userData);
return userData;
},
{ userId: payload.userId }
);
logger.debug("User fetched", { user: user.id });
try {
const result = await processUser(user);
logger.info("Processing completed", { result });
return result;
} catch (error) {
logger.error("Processing failed", {
error: error.message,
userId: payload.userId,
});
throw error;
}
},
});
```
## Hidden Tasks
```ts
// Hidden task - not exported, only used internally
const internalProcessor = task({
id: "internal-processor",
run: async (payload: { data: string }) => {
return { processed: payload.data.toUpperCase() };
},
});
// Public task that uses hidden task
export const publicWorkflow = task({
id: "public-workflow",
run: async (payload: { input: string }) => {
// Use hidden task internally
const result = await internalProcessor.triggerAndWait({
data: payload.input,
});
if (result.ok) {
return { output: result.output.processed };
}
throw new Error("Internal processing failed");
},
});
```
## Best Practices
- **Concurrency**: Use queues to prevent overwhelming external services
- **Retries**: Configure exponential backoff for transient failures
- **Idempotency**: Always use for payment/critical operations
- **Metadata**: Track progress for long-running tasks
- **Machines**: Match machine size to computational requirements
- **Tags**: Use consistent naming patterns for filtering
- **Debouncing**: Use for user activity, webhooks, and notification batching
- **Batch triggering**: Use for bulk operations up to 1,000 items
- **Error Handling**: Distinguish between retryable and fatal errors
Design tasks to be stateless, idempotent, and resilient to failures. Use metadata for state tracking and queues for resource management.

# Trigger.dev Basic Tasks (v4)
**MUST use `@trigger.dev/sdk`, NEVER `client.defineJob`**
## Basic Task
```ts
import { task } from "@trigger.dev/sdk";
export const processData = task({
id: "process-data",
retry: {
maxAttempts: 10,
factor: 1.8,
minTimeoutInMs: 500,
maxTimeoutInMs: 30_000,
randomize: false,
},
run: async (payload: { userId: string; data: any[] }) => {
// Task logic - runs for long time, no timeouts
console.log(`Processing ${payload.data.length} items for user ${payload.userId}`);
return { processed: payload.data.length };
},
});
```
## Schema Task (with validation)
```ts
import { schemaTask } from "@trigger.dev/sdk";
import { z } from "zod";
export const validatedTask = schemaTask({
id: "validated-task",
schema: z.object({
name: z.string(),
age: z.number(),
email: z.string().email(),
}),
run: async (payload) => {
// Payload is automatically validated and typed
return { message: `Hello ${payload.name}, age ${payload.age}` };
},
});
```
## Triggering Tasks
### From Backend Code
```ts
import { tasks } from "@trigger.dev/sdk";
import type { processData } from "./trigger/tasks";
// Single trigger
const handle = await tasks.trigger<typeof processData>("process-data", {
userId: "123",
data: [{ id: 1 }, { id: 2 }],
});
// Batch trigger (up to 1,000 items, 3MB per payload)
const batchHandle = await tasks.batchTrigger<typeof processData>("process-data", [
{ payload: { userId: "123", data: [{ id: 1 }] } },
{ payload: { userId: "456", data: [{ id: 2 }] } },
]);
```
### Debounced Triggering
Consolidate multiple triggers into a single execution:
```ts
// Multiple rapid triggers with same key = single execution
await myTask.trigger(
{ userId: "123" },
{
debounce: {
key: "user-123-update", // Unique key for debounce group
delay: "5s", // Wait before executing
},
}
);
// Trailing mode: use payload from LAST trigger
await myTask.trigger(
{ data: "latest-value" },
{
debounce: {
key: "trailing-example",
delay: "10s",
mode: "trailing", // Default is "leading" (first payload)
},
}
);
```
**Debounce modes:**
- `leading` (default): Uses payload from first trigger, subsequent triggers only reschedule
- `trailing`: Uses payload from most recent trigger
### From Inside Tasks (with Result handling)
```ts
export const parentTask = task({
id: "parent-task",
run: async (payload) => {
// Trigger and continue
const handle = await childTask.trigger({ data: "value" });
// Trigger and wait - returns Result object, NOT task output
const result = await childTask.triggerAndWait({ data: "value" });
if (result.ok) {
console.log("Task output:", result.output); // Actual task return value
} else {
console.error("Task failed:", result.error);
}
// Quick unwrap (throws on error)
const output = await childTask.triggerAndWait({ data: "value" }).unwrap();
// Batch trigger and wait
const results = await childTask.batchTriggerAndWait([
{ payload: { data: "item1" } },
{ payload: { data: "item2" } },
]);
for (const run of results) {
if (run.ok) {
console.log("Success:", run.output);
} else {
console.log("Failed:", run.error);
}
}
},
});
export const childTask = task({
id: "child-task",
run: async (payload: { data: string }) => {
return { processed: payload.data };
},
});
```
> Never wrap triggerAndWait or batchTriggerAndWait calls in a Promise.all or Promise.allSettled as this is not supported in Trigger.dev tasks.
## Waits
```ts
import { task, wait } from "@trigger.dev/sdk";
export const taskWithWaits = task({
id: "task-with-waits",
run: async (payload) => {
console.log("Starting task");
// Wait for specific duration
await wait.for({ seconds: 30 });
await wait.for({ minutes: 5 });
await wait.for({ hours: 1 });
await wait.for({ days: 1 });
// Wait until specific date
await wait.until({ date: new Date("2024-12-25") });
// Wait for token (from external system)
await wait.forToken({
token: "user-approval-token",
timeoutInSeconds: 3600, // 1 hour timeout
});
console.log("All waits completed");
return { status: "completed" };
},
});
```
> Never wrap wait calls in a Promise.all or Promise.allSettled as this is not supported in Trigger.dev tasks.
## Key Points
- **Result vs Output**: `triggerAndWait()` returns a `Result` object with `ok`, `output`, `error` properties - NOT the direct task output
- **Type safety**: Use `import type` for task references when triggering from backend
- **Waits > 5 seconds**: Automatically checkpointed, don't count toward compute usage
- **Debounce + idempotency**: Idempotency keys take precedence over debounce settings
## NEVER Use (v2 deprecated)
```ts
// BREAKS APPLICATION
client.defineJob({
id: "job-id",
run: async (payload, io) => {
/* ... */
},
});
```
Use SDK (`@trigger.dev/sdk`), check `result.ok` before accessing `result.output`

},
onSuccess: async ({ payload, output, ctx }) => {
console.log("Global task success");
},
onFailure: async ({ payload, error, ctx }) => {
console.log("Global task failure");
},
});
```

```
## Custom Build Extensions
```ts
import { defineConfig } from "@trigger.dev/sdk";
const customExtension = {
name: "my-custom-extension",
externalsForTarget: (target) => {
return ["some-native-module"]; // Add external dependencies
},
onBuildStart: async (context) => {
console.log(`Build starting for ${context.target}`);
// Register esbuild plugins, modify build context
},
onBuildComplete: async (context, manifest) => {
console.log("Build complete, adding layers");
// Add build layers, modify deployment
context.addLayer({
id: "my-layer",
files: [{ source: "./custom-file", destination: "/app/custom" }],
commands: ["chmod +x /app/custom"],

## Best Practices
- **Use specific versions**: Pin extension versions for reproducible builds
- **External packages**: Add modules with native addons to the `build.external` array
- **Environment sync**: Use `syncEnvVars` for dynamic secrets
- **File paths**: Use glob patterns for flexible file inclusion
- **Debug builds**: Use `--log-level debug --dry-run` for troubleshooting
Extensions only affect deployment, not local development. Use `external` array for packages that shouldn't be bundled.

# Trigger.dev Realtime
**Real-time monitoring and updates for runs**
## Core Concepts
Realtime allows you to:
- Subscribe to run status changes, metadata updates, and streams
- Build real-time dashboards and UI updates
- Monitor task progress from frontend and backend
## Authentication
### Public Access Tokens
```ts
import { auth } from "@trigger.dev/sdk";
// Read-only token for specific runs
const publicToken = await auth.createPublicToken({
scopes: {
read: {
runs: ["run_123", "run_456"],
tasks: ["my-task-1", "my-task-2"],
},
},
expirationTime: "1h", // Default: 15 minutes
});
```
### Trigger Tokens (Frontend only)
```ts
// Single-use token for triggering tasks
const triggerToken = await auth.createTriggerPublicToken("my-task", {
expirationTime: "30m",
});
```
## Backend Usage
### Subscribe to Runs
```ts
import { runs, tasks } from "@trigger.dev/sdk";
// Trigger and subscribe
const handle = await tasks.trigger("my-task", { data: "value" });
// Subscribe to specific run
for await (const run of runs.subscribeToRun<typeof myTask>(handle.id)) {
console.log(`Status: ${run.status}, Progress: ${run.metadata?.progress}`);
if (run.status === "COMPLETED") break;
}
// Subscribe to runs with tag
for await (const run of runs.subscribeToRunsWithTag("user-123")) {
console.log(`Tagged run ${run.id}: ${run.status}`);
}
// Subscribe to batch
for await (const run of runs.subscribeToBatch(batchId)) {
console.log(`Batch run ${run.id}: ${run.status}`);
}
```
### Realtime Streams v2
```ts
import { streams, InferStreamType } from "@trigger.dev/sdk";
// 1. Define streams (shared location)
export const aiStream = streams.define<string>({
id: "ai-output",
});
export type AIStreamPart = InferStreamType<typeof aiStream>;
// 2. Pipe from task
export const streamingTask = task({
id: "streaming-task",
run: async (payload) => {
const completion = await openai.chat.completions.create({
model: "gpt-4",
messages: [{ role: "user", content: payload.prompt }],
stream: true,
});
const { waitUntilComplete } = aiStream.pipe(completion);
await waitUntilComplete();
},
});
// 3. Read from backend
const stream = await aiStream.read(runId, {
timeoutInSeconds: 300,
startIndex: 0, // Resume from specific chunk
});
for await (const chunk of stream) {
console.log("Chunk:", chunk); // Fully typed
}
```
## React Frontend Usage
### Installation
```bash
npm add @trigger.dev/react-hooks
```
### Triggering Tasks
```tsx
"use client";
import { useTaskTrigger, useRealtimeTaskTrigger } from "@trigger.dev/react-hooks";
import type { myTask } from "../trigger/tasks";
function TriggerComponent({ accessToken }: { accessToken: string }) {
// Basic trigger
const { submit, handle, isLoading } = useTaskTrigger<typeof myTask>("my-task", {
accessToken,
});
// Trigger with realtime updates
const {
submit: realtimeSubmit,
run,
isLoading: isRealtimeLoading,
} = useRealtimeTaskTrigger<typeof myTask>("my-task", { accessToken });
return (
<div>
<button onClick={() => submit({ data: "value" })} disabled={isLoading}>
Trigger Task
</button>
<button onClick={() => realtimeSubmit({ data: "realtime" })} disabled={isRealtimeLoading}>
Trigger with Realtime
</button>
{run && <div>Status: {run.status}</div>}
</div>
);
}
```
### Subscribing to Runs
```tsx
"use client";
import { useRealtimeRun, useRealtimeRunsWithTag } from "@trigger.dev/react-hooks";
import type { myTask } from "../trigger/tasks";
function SubscribeComponent({ runId, accessToken }: { runId: string; accessToken: string }) {
// Subscribe to specific run
const { run, error } = useRealtimeRun<typeof myTask>(runId, {
accessToken,
onComplete: (run) => {
console.log("Task completed:", run.output);
},
});
// Subscribe to tagged runs
const { runs } = useRealtimeRunsWithTag("user-123", { accessToken });
if (error) return <div>Error: {error.message}</div>;
if (!run) return <div>Loading...</div>;
return (
<div>
<div>Status: {run.status}</div>
<div>Progress: {run.metadata?.progress || 0}%</div>
{run.output && <div>Result: {JSON.stringify(run.output)}</div>}
<h3>Tagged Runs:</h3>
{runs.map((r) => (
<div key={r.id}>
{r.id}: {r.status}
</div>
))}
</div>
);
}
```
### Realtime Streams with React
```tsx
"use client";
import { useRealtimeStream } from "@trigger.dev/react-hooks";
import { aiStream } from "../trigger/streams";
function StreamComponent({ runId, accessToken }: { runId: string; accessToken: string }) {
// Pass defined stream directly for type safety
const { parts, error } = useRealtimeStream(aiStream, runId, {
accessToken,
timeoutInSeconds: 300,
throttleInMs: 50, // Control re-render frequency
});
if (error) return <div>Error: {error.message}</div>;
if (!parts) return <div>Loading...</div>;
const text = parts.join(""); // parts is typed as AIStreamPart[]
return <div>Streamed Text: {text}</div>;
}
```
### Wait Tokens
```tsx
"use client";
import { useWaitToken } from "@trigger.dev/react-hooks";
function WaitTokenComponent({ tokenId, accessToken }: { tokenId: string; accessToken: string }) {
const { complete } = useWaitToken(tokenId, { accessToken });
return <button onClick={() => complete({ approved: true })}>Approve Task</button>;
}
```
## Run Object Properties
Key properties available in run subscriptions:
- `id`: Unique run identifier
- `status`: `QUEUED`, `EXECUTING`, `COMPLETED`, `FAILED`, `CANCELED`, etc.
- `payload`: Task input data (typed)
- `output`: Task result (typed, when completed)
- `metadata`: Real-time updatable data
- `createdAt`, `updatedAt`: Timestamps
- `costInCents`: Execution cost
## Best Practices
- **Use Realtime over SWR**: Recommended for most use cases due to rate limits
- **Scope tokens properly**: Only grant necessary read/trigger permissions
- **Handle errors**: Always check for errors in hooks and subscriptions
- **Type safety**: Use task types for proper payload/output typing
- **Cleanup subscriptions**: Backend subscriptions auto-complete, frontend hooks auto-cleanup

# Scheduled Tasks (Cron)
Recurring tasks using cron. For one-off future runs, use the **delay** option.
## Define a Scheduled Task
```ts
import { schedules } from "@trigger.dev/sdk";
export const task = schedules.task({
id: "first-scheduled-task",
run: async (payload) => {
payload.timestamp; // Date (scheduled time, UTC)
payload.lastTimestamp; // Date | undefined
payload.timezone; // IANA, e.g. "America/New_York" (default "UTC")
payload.scheduleId; // string
payload.externalId; // string | undefined
payload.upcoming; // Date[]
payload.timestamp.toLocaleString("en-US", { timeZone: payload.timezone });
},
});
```
> Scheduled tasks need at least one schedule attached to run.
## Attach Schedules
**Declarative (sync on dev/deploy):**
```ts
schedules.task({
id: "every-2h",
cron: "0 */2 * * *", // UTC
run: async () => {},
});
schedules.task({
id: "tokyo-5am",
cron: { pattern: "0 5 * * *", timezone: "Asia/Tokyo", environments: ["PRODUCTION", "STAGING"] },
run: async () => {},
});
```
**Imperative (SDK or dashboard):**
```ts
await schedules.create({
task: task.id,
cron: "0 0 * * *",
timezone: "America/New_York", // DST-aware
externalId: "user_123",
deduplicationKey: "user_123-daily", // updates if reused
});
```
### Dynamic / Multi-tenant Example
```ts
// /trigger/reminder.ts
export const reminderTask = schedules.task({
id: "todo-reminder",
run: async (p) => {
if (!p.externalId) throw new Error("externalId is required");
const user = await db.getUser(p.externalId);
await sendReminderEmail(user);
},
});
```
```ts
// app/reminders/route.ts
export async function POST(req: Request) {
const data = await req.json();
return Response.json(
await schedules.create({
task: reminderTask.id,
cron: "0 8 * * *",
timezone: data.timezone,
externalId: data.userId,
deduplicationKey: `${data.userId}-reminder`,
})
);
}
```
## Cron Syntax (no seconds)
```
* * * * *
| | | | └ day of week (07 or 1L7L; 0/7=Sun; L=last)
| | | └── month (112)
| | └──── day of month (131 or L)
| └────── hour (023)
└──────── minute (059)
```
## When Schedules Won't Trigger
- **Dev:** only when the dev CLI is running.
- **Staging/Production:** only for tasks in the **latest deployment**.
## SDK Management
```ts
await schedules.retrieve(id);
await schedules.list();
await schedules.update(id, { cron: "0 0 1 * *", externalId: "ext", deduplicationKey: "key" });
await schedules.deactivate(id);
await schedules.activate(id);
await schedules.del(id);
await schedules.timezones(); // list of IANA timezones
```

# CLAUDE.md
This file provides guidance to Claude Code (claude.ai/code) when working with code in this repository.
## Build and Development Commands
This is a pnpm 10.23.0 monorepo using Turborepo. Run commands from root with `pnpm run`.
### Essential Commands
```bash
# Start Docker services (PostgreSQL, Redis, Electric)
pnpm run docker
# Run database migrations
pnpm run db:migrate
# Seed the database (required for reference projects)
pnpm run db:seed
# Build packages (required before running)
pnpm run build --filter webapp && pnpm run build --filter trigger.dev && pnpm run build --filter @trigger.dev/sdk
# Run webapp in development mode (http://localhost:3030)
pnpm run dev --filter webapp
# Build and watch for changes (CLI and packages)
pnpm run dev --filter trigger.dev --filter "@trigger.dev/*"
```
### Testing
We use vitest exclusively. **Never mock anything** - use testcontainers instead.
```bash
# Run all tests for a package
pnpm run test --filter webapp
# Run a single test file (preferred - cd into directory first)
cd internal-packages/run-engine
pnpm run test ./src/engine/tests/ttl.test.ts --run
# May need to build dependencies first
pnpm run build --filter @internal/run-engine
```
Test files go next to source files (e.g., `MyService.ts``MyService.test.ts`).
#### Testcontainers for Redis/PostgreSQL
```typescript
import { redisTest, postgresTest, containerTest } from "@internal/testcontainers";
// Redis only
redisTest("should use redis", async ({ redisOptions }) => {
/* ... */
});
// PostgreSQL only
postgresTest("should use postgres", async ({ prisma }) => {
/* ... */
});
// Both Redis and PostgreSQL
containerTest("should use both", async ({ prisma, redisOptions }) => {
/* ... */
});
```
### Changesets
When modifying any public package (`packages/*` or `integrations/*`), add a changeset:
```bash
pnpm run changeset:add
```
- Default to **patch** for bug fixes and minor changes
- Confirm with maintainers before selecting **minor** (new features)
- **Never** select major (breaking changes) without explicit approval
## Architecture Overview
### Apps
- **apps/webapp**: Remix 2.1.0 app - main API, dashboard, and Docker image. Uses Express server.
- **apps/supervisor**: Node.js app handling task execution, interfacing with Docker/Kubernetes.
### Public Packages
- **packages/trigger-sdk** (`@trigger.dev/sdk`): Main SDK
- **packages/cli-v3** (`trigger.dev`): CLI package
- **packages/core** (`@trigger.dev/core`): Shared code between SDK and webapp. Import subpaths only (never root).
- **packages/build**: Build extensions and types
- **packages/react-hooks**: React hooks for realtime and triggering
- **packages/redis-worker** (`@trigger.dev/redis-worker`): Custom Redis-based background job system
### Internal Packages
- **internal-packages/database** (`@trigger.dev/database`): Prisma 6.14.0 client and schema
- **internal-packages/clickhouse** (`@internal/clickhouse`): ClickHouse client and schema migrations
- **internal-packages/run-engine** (`@internal/run-engine`): "Run Engine 2.0" - run lifecycle management
- **internal-packages/redis** (`@internal/redis`): Redis client creation utilities
- **internal-packages/testcontainers** (`@internal/testcontainers`): Test helpers for Redis/PostgreSQL containers
- **internal-packages/zodworker** (`@internal/zodworker`): Graphile-worker wrapper (being replaced by redis-worker)
### Reference Projects
The `references/` directory contains test workspaces for developing and testing new SDK and platform features. Use these projects (e.g., `references/hello-world`) to manually test changes to the CLI, SDK, core packages, and webapp before submitting PRs.
## Webapp Development
### Key Locations
- Trigger API: `apps/webapp/app/routes/api.v1.tasks.$taskId.trigger.ts`
- Batch trigger: `apps/webapp/app/routes/api.v1.tasks.batch.ts`
- Prisma setup: `apps/webapp/app/db.server.ts`
- Run engine config: `apps/webapp/app/v3/runEngine.server.ts`
- Services: `apps/webapp/app/v3/services/**/*.server.ts`
- Presenters: `apps/webapp/app/v3/presenters/**/*.server.ts`
- OTEL endpoints: `apps/webapp/app/routes/otel.v1.logs.ts`, `otel.v1.traces.ts`
### Environment Variables
Access via `env` export from `apps/webapp/app/env.server.ts`, never `process.env` directly.
For testable code, **never import env.server.ts** in test files. Pass configuration as options instead. Example pattern:
- `realtimeClient.server.ts` (testable service)
- `realtimeClientGlobal.server.ts` (configuration)
### Legacy vs Run Engine 2.0
The codebase is transitioning from the "legacy run engine" (spread across codebase) to "Run Engine 2.0" (`@internal/run-engine`). Focus on Run Engine 2.0 for new work.
## Database Migrations (PostgreSQL)
1. Edit `internal-packages/database/prisma/schema.prisma`
2. Create migration:
```bash
cd internal-packages/database
pnpm run db:migrate:dev:create --name "add_new_column"
```
3. **Important**: Generated migration includes extraneous changes. Remove lines related to:
- `_BackgroundWorkerToBackgroundWorkerFile`
- `_BackgroundWorkerToTaskQueue`
- `_TaskRunToTaskRunTag`
- `_WaitpointRunConnections`
- `_completedWaitpoints`
- `SecretStore_key_idx`
- Various `TaskRun` indexes unless you added them
4. Apply migration:
```bash
pnpm run db:migrate:deploy && pnpm run generate
```
### Index Migration Rules
- Indexes **must use CONCURRENTLY** to avoid table locks
- **CONCURRENTLY indexes must be in their own separate migration file** - they cannot be combined with other schema changes
## ClickHouse Migrations
ClickHouse migrations use Goose format and live in `internal-packages/clickhouse/schema/`.
1. Create a new numbered SQL file (e.g., `010_add_new_column.sql`)
2. Use Goose markers:
```sql
-- +goose Up
ALTER TABLE trigger_dev.your_table
ADD COLUMN new_column String DEFAULT '';
-- +goose Down
ALTER TABLE trigger_dev.your_table
DROP COLUMN new_column;
```
Follow naming conventions in `internal-packages/clickhouse/README.md`:
- `raw_` prefix for input tables
- `_v1`, `_v2` suffixes for versioning
- `_mv_v1` suffix for materialized views
## Writing Trigger.dev Tasks
Always import from `@trigger.dev/sdk`. Never use `@trigger.dev/sdk/v3` or deprecated `client.defineJob` pattern.
```typescript
import { task } from "@trigger.dev/sdk";
// Every task must be exported
export const myTask = task({
id: "my-task", // Unique ID
run: async (payload: { message: string }) => {
// Task logic - no timeouts
},
});
```
### SDK Documentation Rules
The `rules/` directory contains versioned documentation for writing Trigger.dev tasks, distributed to users via the SDK installer. Current version is defined in `rules/manifest.json`.
- `rules/4.3.0/` - Latest: batch trigger v2 (1,000 items, 3MB payloads), debouncing
- `rules/4.1.0/` - Realtime streams v2, updated config
- `rules/4.0.0/` - Base v4 SDK documentation
When adding new SDK features, create a new version directory with only the files that changed from the previous version. Update `manifest.json` to point unchanged files to previous versions.
### Claude Code Skill
The `.claude/skills/trigger-dev-tasks/` skill provides Claude Code with Trigger.dev task expertise. It includes:
- `SKILL.md` - Core instructions and patterns
- Reference files for basic tasks, advanced tasks, scheduled tasks, realtime, and config
Keep the skill in sync with the latest rules version when SDK features change.
## Testing with hello-world Reference Project
First-time setup:
1. Run `pnpm run db:seed` to seed the database (creates the hello-world project)
2. Build CLI: `pnpm run build --filter trigger.dev && pnpm i`
3. Authorize CLI: `cd references/hello-world && pnpm exec trigger login -a http://localhost:3030`
Running:
```bash
cd references/hello-world
pnpm exec trigger dev # or with --log-level debug
```
## Local Task Testing Workflow
This workflow enables Claude Code to run the webapp and trigger dev simultaneously, trigger tasks, and inspect results for testing code changes.
### Step 1: Start Webapp in Background
```bash
# Run from repo root with run_in_background: true
pnpm run dev --filter webapp
```
Verify webapp is running:
```bash
curl -s http://localhost:3030/healthcheck # Should return 200
```
### Step 2: Start Trigger Dev in Background
```bash
# Run from hello-world directory with run_in_background: true
cd references/hello-world && pnpm exec trigger dev
```
The worker will build and register tasks. Check output for "Local worker ready [node]" message.
### Step 3: Trigger and Monitor Tasks via MCP
Use the Trigger.dev MCP tools to interact with tasks:
```
# Get current worker and registered tasks
mcp__trigger__get_current_worker(projectRef: "proj_rrkpdguyagvsoktglnod", environment: "dev")
# Trigger a task
mcp__trigger__trigger_task(
projectRef: "proj_rrkpdguyagvsoktglnod",
environment: "dev",
taskId: "hello-world",
payload: {"message": "Hello from Claude"}
)
# List runs to see status
mcp__trigger__list_runs(
projectRef: "proj_rrkpdguyagvsoktglnod",
environment: "dev",
taskIdentifier: "hello-world",
limit: 5
)
```
### Step 4: Monitor Execution
- Check trigger dev output file for real-time execution logs
- Successful runs show: `Task | Run ID | Success (Xms)`
- Dashboard available at: http://localhost:3030/orgs/references-9dfd/projects/hello-world-97DT/env/dev/runs
### Key Project Refs
- hello-world: `proj_rrkpdguyagvsoktglnod`

# Trigger.dev Advanced Tasks (v4)
**Advanced patterns and features for writing tasks**
## Tags & Organization
```ts
import { task, tags } from "@trigger.dev/sdk";
export const processUser = task({
id: "process-user",
run: async (payload: { userId: string; orgId: string }, { ctx }) => {
// Add tags during execution
await tags.add(`user_${payload.userId}`);
await tags.add(`org_${payload.orgId}`);
return { processed: true };
},
});
// Trigger with tags
await processUser.trigger(
{ userId: "123", orgId: "abc" },
{ tags: ["priority", "user_123", "org_abc"] } // Max 10 tags per run
);
// Subscribe to tagged runs
for await (const run of runs.subscribeToRunsWithTag("user_123")) {
console.log(`User task ${run.id}: ${run.status}`);
}
```
**Tag Best Practices:**
- Use prefixes: `user_123`, `org_abc`, `video:456`
- Max 10 tags per run, 1-64 characters each
- Tags don't propagate to child tasks automatically
## Batch Triggering v2
Enhanced batch triggering with larger payloads and streaming ingestion.
### Limits
- **Maximum batch size**: 1,000 items (increased from 500)
- **Payload per item**: 3MB each (increased from 1MB combined)
- Payloads > 512KB automatically offload to object storage
### Rate Limiting (per environment)
| Tier | Bucket Size | Refill Rate |
|------|-------------|-------------|
| Free | 1,200 runs | 100 runs/10 sec |
| Hobby | 5,000 runs | 500 runs/5 sec |
| Pro | 5,000 runs | 500 runs/5 sec |
### Concurrent Batch Processing
| Tier | Concurrent Batches |
|------|-------------------|
| Free | 1 |
| Hobby | 10 |
| Pro | 10 |
### Usage
```ts
import { myTask } from "./trigger/myTask";
// Basic batch trigger (up to 1,000 items)
const runs = await myTask.batchTrigger([
{ payload: { userId: "user-1" } },
{ payload: { userId: "user-2" } },
{ payload: { userId: "user-3" } },
]);
// Batch trigger with wait
const results = await myTask.batchTriggerAndWait([
{ payload: { userId: "user-1" } },
{ payload: { userId: "user-2" } },
]);
for (const result of results) {
if (result.ok) {
console.log("Result:", result.output);
}
}
// With per-item options
const batchHandle = await myTask.batchTrigger([
{
payload: { userId: "123" },
options: {
idempotencyKey: "user-123-batch",
tags: ["priority"],
},
},
{
payload: { userId: "456" },
options: {
idempotencyKey: "user-456-batch",
},
},
]);
```
## Debouncing
Consolidate multiple triggers into a single execution by debouncing task runs with a unique key and delay window.
### Use Cases
- **User activity updates**: Batch rapid user actions into a single run
- **Webhook deduplication**: Handle webhook bursts without redundant processing
- **Search indexing**: Combine document updates instead of processing individually
- **Notification batching**: Group notifications to prevent user spam
### Basic Usage
```ts
await myTask.trigger(
{ userId: "123" },
{
debounce: {
key: "user-123-update", // Unique identifier for debounce group
delay: "5s", // Wait duration ("5s", "1m", or milliseconds)
},
}
);
```
### Execution Modes
**Leading Mode** (default): Uses payload/options from the first trigger; subsequent triggers only reschedule execution time.
```ts
// First trigger sets the payload
await myTask.trigger({ action: "first" }, {
debounce: { key: "my-key", delay: "10s" }
});
// Second trigger only reschedules - payload remains "first"
await myTask.trigger({ action: "second" }, {
debounce: { key: "my-key", delay: "10s" }
});
// Task executes with { action: "first" }
```
**Trailing Mode**: Uses payload/options from the most recent trigger.
```ts
await myTask.trigger(
{ data: "latest-value" },
{
debounce: {
key: "trailing-example",
delay: "10s",
mode: "trailing",
},
}
);
```
In trailing mode, these options update with each trigger:
- `payload` — task input data
- `metadata` — run metadata
- `tags` — run tags (replaces existing)
- `maxAttempts` — retry attempts
- `maxDuration` — maximum compute time
- `machine` — machine preset
### Important Notes
- Idempotency keys take precedence over debounce settings
- Compatible with `triggerAndWait()` — parent runs block correctly on debounced execution
- Debounce key is scoped to the task
## Concurrency & Queues
```ts
import { task, queue } from "@trigger.dev/sdk";
// Shared queue for related tasks
const emailQueue = queue({
name: "email-processing",
concurrencyLimit: 5, // Max 5 emails processing simultaneously
});
// Task-level concurrency
export const oneAtATime = task({
id: "sequential-task",
queue: { concurrencyLimit: 1 }, // Process one at a time
run: async (payload) => {
// Critical section - only one instance runs
},
});
// Per-user concurrency
export const processUserData = task({
id: "process-user-data",
run: async (payload: { userId: string }) => {
// Override queue with user-specific concurrency
await childTask.trigger(payload, {
queue: {
name: `user-${payload.userId}`,
concurrencyLimit: 2,
},
});
},
});
export const emailTask = task({
id: "send-email",
queue: emailQueue, // Use shared queue
run: async (payload: { to: string }) => {
// Send email logic
},
});
```
## Error Handling & Retries
```ts
import { task, retry, AbortTaskRunError } from "@trigger.dev/sdk";
export const resilientTask = task({
id: "resilient-task",
retry: {
maxAttempts: 10,
factor: 1.8, // Exponential backoff multiplier
minTimeoutInMs: 500,
maxTimeoutInMs: 30_000,
randomize: false,
},
catchError: async ({ error, ctx }) => {
// Custom error handling
if (error.code === "FATAL_ERROR") {
throw new AbortTaskRunError("Cannot retry this error");
}
// Log error details
console.error(`Task ${ctx.task.id} failed:`, error);
// Allow retry by returning nothing
return { retryAt: new Date(Date.now() + 60000) }; // Retry in 1 minute
},
run: async (payload) => {
// Retry specific operations
const result = await retry.onThrow(
async () => {
return await unstableApiCall(payload);
},
{ maxAttempts: 3 }
);
// Conditional HTTP retries
const response = await retry.fetch("https://api.example.com", {
retry: {
maxAttempts: 5,
condition: (response, error) => {
return response?.status === 429 || response?.status >= 500;
},
},
});
return result;
},
});
```
## Machines & Performance
```ts
export const heavyTask = task({
id: "heavy-computation",
machine: { preset: "large-2x" }, // 8 vCPU, 16 GB RAM
maxDuration: 1800, // 30 minutes timeout
run: async (payload, { ctx }) => {
// Resource-intensive computation
if (ctx.machine.preset === "large-2x") {
// Use all available cores
return await parallelProcessing(payload);
}
return await standardProcessing(payload);
},
});
// Override machine when triggering
await heavyTask.trigger(payload, {
machine: { preset: "medium-1x" }, // Override for this run
});
```
**Machine Presets:**
- `micro`: 0.25 vCPU, 0.25 GB RAM
- `small-1x`: 0.5 vCPU, 0.5 GB RAM (default)
- `small-2x`: 1 vCPU, 1 GB RAM
- `medium-1x`: 1 vCPU, 2 GB RAM
- `medium-2x`: 2 vCPU, 4 GB RAM
- `large-1x`: 4 vCPU, 8 GB RAM
- `large-2x`: 8 vCPU, 16 GB RAM
## Idempotency
```ts
import { task, idempotencyKeys } from "@trigger.dev/sdk";
export const paymentTask = task({
id: "process-payment",
retry: {
maxAttempts: 3,
},
run: async (payload: { orderId: string; amount: number }) => {
// Automatically scoped to this task run, so if the task is retried, the idempotency key will be the same
const idempotencyKey = await idempotencyKeys.create(`payment-${payload.orderId}`);
// Ensure payment is processed only once
await chargeCustomer.trigger(payload, {
idempotencyKey,
idempotencyKeyTTL: "24h", // Key expires in 24 hours
});
},
});
// Payload-based idempotency
import { createHash } from "node:crypto";
function createPayloadHash(payload: any): string {
const hash = createHash("sha256");
hash.update(JSON.stringify(payload));
return hash.digest("hex");
}
export const deduplicatedTask = task({
id: "deduplicated-task",
run: async (payload) => {
const payloadHash = createPayloadHash(payload);
const idempotencyKey = await idempotencyKeys.create(payloadHash);
await processData.trigger(payload, { idempotencyKey });
},
});
```
## Metadata & Progress Tracking
```ts
import { task, metadata } from "@trigger.dev/sdk";
export const batchProcessor = task({
id: "batch-processor",
run: async (payload: { items: any[] }, { ctx }) => {
const totalItems = payload.items.length;
// Initialize progress metadata
metadata
.set("progress", 0)
.set("totalItems", totalItems)
.set("processedItems", 0)
.set("status", "starting");
const results = [];
for (let i = 0; i < payload.items.length; i++) {
const item = payload.items[i];
// Process item
const result = await processItem(item);
results.push(result);
// Update progress
const progress = ((i + 1) / totalItems) * 100;
metadata
.set("progress", progress)
.increment("processedItems", 1)
.append("logs", `Processed item ${i + 1}/${totalItems}`)
.set("currentItem", item.id);
}
// Final status
metadata.set("status", "completed");
return { results, totalProcessed: results.length };
},
});
// Update parent metadata from child task
export const childTask = task({
id: "child-task",
run: async (payload, { ctx }) => {
// Update parent task metadata
metadata.parent.set("childStatus", "processing");
metadata.root.increment("childrenCompleted", 1);
return { processed: true };
},
});
```
## Logging & Tracing
```ts
import { task, logger } from "@trigger.dev/sdk";
export const tracedTask = task({
id: "traced-task",
run: async (payload, { ctx }) => {
logger.info("Task started", { userId: payload.userId });
// Custom trace with attributes
const user = await logger.trace(
"fetch-user",
async (span) => {
span.setAttribute("user.id", payload.userId);
span.setAttribute("operation", "database-fetch");
const userData = await database.findUser(payload.userId);
span.setAttribute("user.found", !!userData);
return userData;
},
{ userId: payload.userId }
);
logger.debug("User fetched", { user: user.id });
try {
const result = await processUser(user);
logger.info("Processing completed", { result });
return result;
} catch (error) {
logger.error("Processing failed", {
error: error.message,
userId: payload.userId,
});
throw error;
}
},
});
```
## Hidden Tasks
```ts
// Hidden task - not exported, only used internally
const internalProcessor = task({
id: "internal-processor",
run: async (payload: { data: string }) => {
return { processed: payload.data.toUpperCase() };
},
});
// Public task that uses hidden task
export const publicWorkflow = task({
id: "public-workflow",
run: async (payload: { input: string }) => {
// Use hidden task internally
const result = await internalProcessor.triggerAndWait({
data: payload.input,
});
if (result.ok) {
return { output: result.output.processed };
}
throw new Error("Internal processing failed");
},
});
```
## Best Practices
- **Concurrency**: Use queues to prevent overwhelming external services
- **Retries**: Configure exponential backoff for transient failures
- **Idempotency**: Always use for payment/critical operations
- **Metadata**: Track progress for long-running tasks
- **Machines**: Match machine size to computational requirements
- **Tags**: Use consistent naming patterns for filtering
- **Debouncing**: Use for user activity, webhooks, and notification batching
- **Batch triggering**: Use for bulk operations up to 1,000 items
- **Error Handling**: Distinguish between retryable and fatal errors
Design tasks to be stateless, idempotent, and resilient to failures. Use metadata for state tracking and queues for resource management.

# Trigger.dev Basic Tasks (v4)
**MUST use `@trigger.dev/sdk`, NEVER `client.defineJob`**
## Basic Task
```ts
import { task } from "@trigger.dev/sdk";
export const processData = task({
id: "process-data",
retry: {
maxAttempts: 10,
factor: 1.8,
minTimeoutInMs: 500,
maxTimeoutInMs: 30_000,
randomize: false,
},
run: async (payload: { userId: string; data: any[] }) => {
// Task logic - runs for long time, no timeouts
console.log(`Processing ${payload.data.length} items for user ${payload.userId}`);
return { processed: payload.data.length };
},
});
```
## Schema Task (with validation)
```ts
import { schemaTask } from "@trigger.dev/sdk";
import { z } from "zod";
export const validatedTask = schemaTask({
id: "validated-task",
schema: z.object({
name: z.string(),
age: z.number(),
email: z.string().email(),
}),
run: async (payload) => {
// Payload is automatically validated and typed
return { message: `Hello ${payload.name}, age ${payload.age}` };
},
});
```
## Triggering Tasks
### From Backend Code
```ts
import { tasks } from "@trigger.dev/sdk";
import type { processData } from "./trigger/tasks";
// Single trigger
const handle = await tasks.trigger<typeof processData>("process-data", {
userId: "123",
data: [{ id: 1 }, { id: 2 }],
});
// Batch trigger (up to 1,000 items, 3MB per payload)
const batchHandle = await tasks.batchTrigger<typeof processData>("process-data", [
{ payload: { userId: "123", data: [{ id: 1 }] } },
{ payload: { userId: "456", data: [{ id: 2 }] } },
]);
```
### Debounced Triggering
Consolidate multiple triggers into a single execution:
```ts
// Multiple rapid triggers with same key = single execution
await myTask.trigger(
{ userId: "123" },
{
debounce: {
key: "user-123-update", // Unique key for debounce group
delay: "5s", // Wait before executing
},
}
);
// Trailing mode: use payload from LAST trigger
await myTask.trigger(
{ data: "latest-value" },
{
debounce: {
key: "trailing-example",
delay: "10s",
mode: "trailing", // Default is "leading" (first payload)
},
}
);
```
**Debounce modes:**
- `leading` (default): Uses payload from first trigger, subsequent triggers only reschedule
- `trailing`: Uses payload from most recent trigger
### From Inside Tasks (with Result handling)
```ts
export const parentTask = task({
id: "parent-task",
run: async (payload) => {
// Trigger and continue
const handle = await childTask.trigger({ data: "value" });
// Trigger and wait - returns Result object, NOT task output
const result = await childTask.triggerAndWait({ data: "value" });
if (result.ok) {
console.log("Task output:", result.output); // Actual task return value
} else {
console.error("Task failed:", result.error);
}
// Quick unwrap (throws on error)
const output = await childTask.triggerAndWait({ data: "value" }).unwrap();
// Batch trigger and wait
const results = await childTask.batchTriggerAndWait([
{ payload: { data: "item1" } },
{ payload: { data: "item2" } },
]);
for (const run of results) {
if (run.ok) {
console.log("Success:", run.output);
} else {
console.log("Failed:", run.error);
}
}
},
});
export const childTask = task({
id: "child-task",
run: async (payload: { data: string }) => {
return { processed: payload.data };
},
});
```
> Never wrap triggerAndWait or batchTriggerAndWait calls in a Promise.all or Promise.allSettled as this is not supported in Trigger.dev tasks.
## Waits
```ts
import { task, wait } from "@trigger.dev/sdk";
export const taskWithWaits = task({
id: "task-with-waits",
run: async (payload) => {
console.log("Starting task");
// Wait for specific duration
await wait.for({ seconds: 30 });
await wait.for({ minutes: 5 });
await wait.for({ hours: 1 });
await wait.for({ days: 1 });
// Wait until specific date
await wait.until({ date: new Date("2024-12-25") });
// Wait for token (from external system)
await wait.forToken({
token: "user-approval-token",
timeoutInSeconds: 3600, // 1 hour timeout
});
console.log("All waits completed");
return { status: "completed" };
},
});
```
> Never wrap wait calls in a Promise.all or Promise.allSettled as this is not supported in Trigger.dev tasks.
## Key Points
- **Result vs Output**: `triggerAndWait()` returns a `Result` object with `ok`, `output`, `error` properties - NOT the direct task output
- **Type safety**: Use `import type` for task references when triggering from backend
- **Waits > 5 seconds**: Automatically checkpointed, don't count toward compute usage
- **Debounce + idempotency**: Idempotency keys take precedence over debounce settings
## NEVER Use (v2 deprecated)
```ts
// BREAKS APPLICATION
client.defineJob({
id: "job-id",
run: async (payload, io) => {
/* ... */
},
});
```
Use SDK (`@trigger.dev/sdk`), check `result.ok` before accessing `result.output`
