Trigger.dev v3 brings long-running background jobs up to 24 hours, deploy anywhere, and a new architecture for AI agent workloads.
Reviewer scorecard
“Perfect for prototyping. I described a dashboard and had a working app in 3 minutes. Not production-ready, but unbeatable for speed-to-demo.”
“Long-running jobs up to 24 hours solve the AI agent execution problem. The v3 architecture is built for modern workloads.”
“Impressive demo, but the generated code is messy and you'll rewrite most of it. If you can't code, you can't fix what it breaks. Know what you're getting into.”
“v3 addresses the key limitation — jobs that need to run for hours, not just seconds. Essential for AI agent tasks.”
“As a creator who needs quick landing pages and MVPs, this is a game-changer. I built a waitlist page with email capture in under 5 minutes.”
“Long-running, durable background jobs are the infrastructure AI agents need. Trigger.dev v3 delivers exactly this.”
