Machines

Configure the number of vCPUs and GBs of RAM you want the task to use.

The machine configuration is optional. Using higher spec machines will increase the cost of running the task but can also improve the performance of the task if it is CPU or memory bound.

/trigger/heavy-task.ts

export const heavyTask = task({
  id: "heavy-task",
  machine: {
    preset: "large-1x",
  },
  run: async ({ payload, ctx }) => {
    //...
  },
});

The default machine is small-1x which has 0.5 vCPU and 0.5 GB of RAM. You can change the default machine in your trigger.config.ts file:

trigger.config.ts

import type { TriggerConfig } from "@trigger.dev/sdk/v3";

export const config: TriggerConfig = {
  machine: "small-2x",
  // ... other config
};

Machine configurations

Preset	vCPU	Memory	Disk space
micro	0.25	0.25	10GB
small-1x (default)	0.5	0.5	10GB
small-2x	1	1	10GB
medium-1x	1	2	10GB
medium-2x	2	4	10GB
large-1x	4	8	10GB
large-2x	8	16	10GB
