Trigger.dev v3 brings long-running background jobs up to 24 hours, deploy anywhere, and a new architecture for AI agent workloads.
Reviewer scorecard
“Issue-to-PR workflow is the right abstraction. The planning step prevents the 'just generate code' antipattern.”
“Long-running jobs up to 24 hours solve the AI agent execution problem. The v3 architecture is built for modern workloads.”
“Still limited in what it can handle. Works for straightforward issues but struggles with anything architecturally complex.”
“v3 addresses the key limitation — jobs that need to run for hours, not just seconds. Essential for AI agent tasks.”
“This is where all development is heading — describe what you want, AI plans and implements. GitHub has distribution advantage.”
“Long-running, durable background jobs are the infrastructure AI agents need. Trigger.dev v3 delivers exactly this.”
