 Trigger.dev is an open source background jobs framework that lets you write reliable workflows in plain async code. Run long-running AI tasks, handle complex background jobs, and build AI agents with built-in queuing, automatic retries, and real-time monitoring. No timeouts, elastic scaling, and zero infrastructure management required.
 
-We provide everything you need to build and manage background tasks: a [CLI and SDK](/config/config-file) for writing tasks in your existing codebase, support for both [regular](/tasks/overview) and [scheduled](/tasks/scheduled) tasks, full observability through our dashboard, and a [Realtime API](/realtime) with [React hooks](/frontend/react-hooks#realtime-hooks) for showing task status in your frontend. You can use [Trigger.dev Cloud](https://cloud.trigger.dev) or [self-host](/open-source-self-hosting) on your own infrastructure.

 The Trigger.dev packages are now at version `3.0.x` in the `latest` tag. This is our first official release of v3 under the latest tag, and we recommend anyone still using packages in the `beta` tag to upgrade to the latest version. This guide will help you upgrade your project to the latest version of Trigger.dev.
 
 The major changes in this release are a new build system, which is more flexible and powerful than the previous build system. We've also made some changes to the `trigger.dev` CLI to improve the developer experience.
