Serverless Queue Testing Patterns: Inngest vs Trigger.dev vs BullMQ Compared

Modern background job systems differ fundamentally in their execution model, and those differences shape how you test them. Inngest replays your entire function body on each step. Trigger.dev executes tasks as isolated units. BullMQ processes jobs as single-invocation functions with Redis-backed state. Getting your testing strategy wrong

Trigger.dev Job Testing: Task Mocking, Run Lifecycle, and Webhook Triggers

Trigger.dev v3 brings a task-centric model for background jobs: each task is a durable, retriable unit that can spawn subtasks, wait on external events, and execute long-running logic without timeouts. Testing these tasks requires understanding their lifecycle and the tools Trigger.dev provides for isolation. Trigger.dev
