Reviewer scorecard
“Instant GraphQL API from a schema definition. Edge deployment and federation are well-designed.”
“Long-running jobs up to 24 hours solve the AI agent execution problem. The v3 architecture is built for modern workloads.”
“GraphQL is losing mindshare to tRPC and REST. Building a platform around GraphQL is a risky bet.”
“v3 addresses the key limitation — jobs that need to run for hours, not just seconds. Essential for AI agent tasks.”
“Edge-first GraphQL with AI gateway is an interesting combination. The gateway approach could be the differentiator.”
“Long-running, durable background jobs are the infrastructure AI agents need. Trigger.dev v3 delivers exactly this.”
