Trigger.dev Task Sandbox (Job-Orchestration Spike)
An influencer-marketing media-intelligence platform
Overview
A small sandbox repo for building and validating Trigger.dev v3 tasks before they graduate into the production pipeline.
Why It Exists
Before wiring jobs into the main pipeline, the team needed a place to spike on Trigger.dev task definitions, retry policies and max-duration settings, a low-risk testing ground.
What We Built
A minimal Trigger.dev project (trigger.config.ts, src/trigger/) configured with a project id, a 3600s max duration and a default retry policy (3 attempts, exponential backoff with jitter). Pure scaffolding for iterative development.
Technologies & Approach
Trigger.dev SDK v3, matching the production pipeline’s stack so validated patterns transfer directly.
Outcome / Impact
Provided a safe environment to validate job patterns and retry/timeout configuration, de-risking changes to the production pipeline.
Capabilities Demonstrated
- building durable background jobs with Trigger.dev
- Establishing retry and duration policies for task orchestration
