This summer we upgraded our 56TB Postgres database with (almost) no downtime. And we moved all new runs to @planetscale.com Metal. This post covers everything we did and everything we learned along the way. tgr.dev/O50VFcz

Upgrading a 56TB database that's growing at 250GB per day with (nearly) no downtime | Trigger.dev
We had to upgrade our 56TB Aurora Postgres cluster by 31 July without taking Trigger.dev down. Instead of moving the database, we made the problem smaller: new runs and the control plane went to PlanetScale, and the old runs stayed behind.

New Trigger.dev projects now open with a "Copy AI agent prompt" button. Paste it into Claude Code or Cursor and your agent goes from an empty repo to a task that's registered and verified in the dashboard, not just a few generated files. How it works ↓

Column control landed on the Trigger.dev runs list. Show, hide, and reorder columns, or add a smart column that pulls a single value straight out of a run and shows it for every row. ↓

Define your prompts in code. Override them live when you need to. On Trigger.dev a prompt is an id, a model, typed variables, and a template, and every deploy creates a new version. Override the text or model from the dashboard, no redeploy ↓

You could always see what a task did. Now you can see what it spent. Every LLM call your Trigger tasks make becomes a span in the trace. One flag, 𝚎𝚡𝚙𝚎𝚛𝚒𝚖𝚎𝚗𝚝𝚊𝚕_𝚝𝚎𝚕𝚎𝚖𝚎𝚝𝚛𝚢, on any Vercel AI SDK call. Nothing to install. Whole AI bill, or any single call, in the trace ↓

Most AI streams fail the moment your user switches apps or walks into an elevator. Standard HTTP streams are fragile. If the connection drops, the generation is lost. We built a better way for production AI apps. 🧵

Debugging a 5-minute AI run is hard. Debugging a 4-hour autonomous agent is a nightmare. Console logs disappear. Stack traces get truncated. You have no idea why it looped 50 times and then died. Here is how we solved observability for long-running agents. 🧵
