Reviewer scorecard
“EAS Build, OTA updates, and the managed workflow eliminate the worst parts of mobile development. Indispensable.”
“Long-running jobs up to 24 hours solve the AI agent execution problem. The v3 architecture is built for modern workloads.”
“Expo has matured from toy to production platform. The config plugins and custom dev clients removed the old limitations.”
“v3 addresses the key limitation — jobs that need to run for hours, not just seconds. Essential for AI agent tasks.”
“Expo is making React Native the default for mobile. Universal apps (web + mobile) from one codebase is the future.”
“Long-running, durable background jobs are the infrastructure AI agents need. Trigger.dev v3 delivers exactly this.”
