## Summary
Adds a second backend for the realtime runs feed (`useRealtimeRun`,
`subscribeToRunsWithTag`, `subscribeToBatch`), built to stay healthy
when a single busy environment has many subscribers watching many runs
at once. It is gated behind a feature flag with the existing backend as
the default, so nothing changes for users until it is enabled per
environment.
## Design
A run change is published once, as a small self-describing record, to a
single per-environment channel. Every feed is then a predicate over that
one stream rather than owning a channel:
- A per-instance router indexes the currently-held feeds by run, tag,
and batch. When a run changes it hydrates the affected rows once and
serializes them once, then fans the result to every matching feed. One
hot shared tag watched by many subscribers costs a single database query
and serialize, not one per subscriber.
- Feeds that don't match a change are never woken, wake delivery per
environment is coalesced on a leading edge (250ms default) so a burst of
changes costs one wake, and cold reads coalesce onto a single
short-TTL-cached resolve.
- An admission gate bounds how many cold ClickHouse resolves run
concurrently, so a mass reconnect across many distinct filters queues
instead of stampeding the database.
- Changes that land while a client is between long-polls are delivered
on its next poll instead of waiting for the periodic backstop: each
environment buffers its recent change records, subscriptions linger
briefly after the last feed closes, and a newly-armed poll replays
exactly the connection's gap.
- The per-connection replay cursors behind that are shared across
instances via Redis (a single timestamp each), so a poll landing on a
different instance behind the load balancer still reads the connection's
true gap instead of falling back to a cold resolve. Cursor reads have a
bounded deadline and degrade to the cold-read path on any Redis trouble.
- Tag subscriptions with multiple tags match runs carrying all of the
tags, mirroring the existing backend's filter semantics, and live
long-polls hold for about 20 seconds to match its cadence.
- The per-environment channel supports Redis Cluster sharded pub/sub, so
the wake path scales horizontally across shards by environment.
- The backend reports its health through OpenTelemetry metrics (delivery
lag, poll resolution paths, backstop outcomes, replay and cursor-store
activity), with a provisioned Grafana dashboard for local development.
Everything is behind the feature flag and tunable via env vars; the
existing backend remains the default.
## Summary
Local ClickHouse was burning ~325% CPU endlessly merging its own
telemetry tables (`metric_log`, `asynchronous_metric_log`, `part_log`,
`trace_log`) after the container had been running long enough to
accumulate hundreds of GB of system-log data. OrbStack Helper reflected
this on the host (~400% CPU).
These tables are not used by anything in the dev stack. They only exist
for ClickHouse to log itself, so disabling them eliminates the merge
churn entirely.
## Changes
- Adds `docker/config/clickhouse-disable-system-logs.xml`, mounted into
`/etc/clickhouse-server/config.d/`, that removes the noisy system log
tables via `<table remove="1"/>`.
- Mounts the override file in `docker/docker-compose.yml`.
After applying, idle CPU dropped from 325% to ~12% on my machine.
## Test plan
- [ ] `pnpm run docker` brings up the stack cleanly
- [ ] `docker stats clickhouse` shows low idle CPU
- [ ] App functionality unaffected (system log tables are not queried by
the webapp)
Input streams enable sending typed data to executing tasks from external
callers — backends, frontends, or other tasks. This unlocks interactive
use cases like approval UIs, cancel buttons, chat interfaces, and
human-in-the-loop AI workflows where the task needs to receive data
while running.
Three consumption patterns inside a task:
* `.wait()` — Suspend the task until data arrives (process freed, most
efficient)
* `.once()` — Wait for the next message (process stays alive)
* `.on()` — Subscribe to a continuous stream of messages
One send pattern from outside:
* `.send(runId, data)` — Send typed data to a specific run's input
stream
## User-facing API
### Define a typed input stream
```ts
import { streams, task } from "@trigger.dev/sdk";
const approval = streams.input<{ approved: boolean; reviewer: string }>({ id: "approval" });
```
### Consume inside a task
```ts
export const myTask = task({
id: "my-task",
run: async () => {
// Pattern 1: Suspend until data arrives (most efficient — frees the process)
const result = await approval.wait({ timeout: "5m" });
// Pattern 2: Wait for next message (process stays alive)
const data = await approval.once().unwrap();
// Pattern 3: Subscribe to multiple messages
approval.on((data) => { /* handle each message */ });
},
});
```
### Send from outside
```ts
// From a backend (using secret API key)
await approval.send(runId, { approved: true, reviewer: "alice" });
// From a frontend (using public JWT token from trigger response)
const { send } = useInputStreamSend("approval", runId, { accessToken });
send({ approved: true, reviewer: "alice" });
```

New batch trigger system with larger payloads, streaming ingestion,
larger batch sizes, and a fair processing system.
This PR introduces a new `FairQueue` abstraction inspired by our own
`RunQueue` that enables multi-tenant fair queueing with concurrency
limits. The new `BatchQueue` is built on top of the `FairQueue`, and
handles processing Batch triggers in a fair manner with per-environment
concurrency limits defined per-org. Additionally, there is a global
concurrency limit to prevent the BatchQueue system from creating too
many runs too quickly, which can cause downstream issues.
For this new BatchQueue system we have a completely new batch trigger
creation and ingestion system. Previously this was a single endpoint
with a single JSON body that defined details about the batch as well as
all the items in the batch.
We're introducing a two-phase batch trigger ingestion system. In the
first phase, the BatchTaskRun record is created (and possibly rate
limited). The second phase is another endpoint that accepts an NDJSON
body with each line being a single item/run with payload and options.
At ingestion time all items are added to a queue, in order, and then
processed by the BatchQueue system.
## New batch trigger rate limits
This PR implements a new batch trigger specific rate limit, configured
on the `Organization.batchRateLimitConfig` column, and defaults using
these environment variables:
- `BATCH_RATE_LIMIT_REFILL_RATE` defaults to 10
- `BATCH_RATE_LIMIT_REFILL_INTERVAL` the duration interval, defaults to
`"10s"`
- `BATCH_RATE_LIMIT_MAX` defaults to 1200
This rate limiter is scoped to the environment ID and controls how many
runs can be submitted via batch triggers per interval. The SDK handles
the retrying side.
## Batch queue concurrency limits
The new column `Organization.batchQueueConcurrencyConfig` now defines an
org specific `processingConcurrency` value, with a backup of the env var
`BATCH_CONCURRENCY_LIMIT_DEFAULT` which defaults to 10. This controls
how many batch queue items are processed concurrently per environment.
There is also a global rate limit for the batch queue set via the
`BATCH_QUEUE_GLOBAL_RATE_LIMIT` which defaults to being disabled. If
set, the entire batch queue system won't process more than
`BATCH_QUEUE_GLOBAL_RATE_LIMIT` items per second. This allows
controlling the maximum number of runs created per second via batch
triggers.
## Batch trigger settings
- `STREAMING_BATCH_MAX_ITEMS` controls the maximum number of items in a
single batch
- `STREAMING_BATCH_ITEM_MAXIMUM_SIZE` controls the maximum size of each
item in a batch
- `BATCH_CONCURRENCY_DEFAULT_CONCURRENCY` controls the default
environment concurrency
- `BATCH_QUEUE_DRR_QUANTUM` how many credits each environment gets each
round for the DRR scheduler
- `BATCH_QUEUE_MAX_DEFICIT` the maximum deficit for the DRR scheduler
- `BATCH_QUEUE_CONSUMER_COUNT` how many queue consumers to run
- `BATCH_QUEUE_CONSUMER_INTERVAL_MS` how frequently they poll for items
in the queue
### Configuration Recommendations by Use Case
**High-throughput priority (fairness acceptable at 0.98+):**
```env
BATCH_QUEUE_DRR_QUANTUM=25
BATCH_QUEUE_MAX_DEFICIT=100
BATCH_QUEUE_CONSUMER_COUNT=10
BATCH_QUEUE_CONSUMER_INTERVAL_MS=50
BATCH_CONCURRENCY_DEFAULT_CONCURRENCY=25
```
**Strict fairness priority (throughput can be lower):**
```env
BATCH_QUEUE_DRR_QUANTUM=5
BATCH_QUEUE_MAX_DEFICIT=25
BATCH_QUEUE_CONSUMER_COUNT=3
BATCH_QUEUE_CONSUMER_INTERVAL_MS=100
BATCH_CONCURRENCY_DEFAULT_CONCURRENCY=5
```
