Machines

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.

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:

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

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