Did it resolve the winners?

Yes, Gemini was the winner here.

It was published at, and then it finished the whole process.

The nice thing about this is

is that if something fails, I get retries for free.

And so I will automatically... If an AI TLDR for a vector embedding, which is very important as we're building clusters, fails once, fails twice, it will continue to retry as...

and automatically spin up these instances and try again, and then will report back to me via Sentry or any other type of monitoring software that I have on the back end that, oh, I had a failure, why did this actually happen?

And so I like that because a couple things, if I'm developing this locally and I don't have this on production, my data continues to be enriched in the database, and so I can continue to develop before I actually deploy to production.

So when I'm running this locally, like I'm showing you here, it's like it's functioning and continuing to build things out.

There's a few things that are still tied locally that I need to catch up on to fire this back up because I just don't want to be burning through cash for no reason if I'm not using it.

But yeah, so does that make sense?

It's, well, I mean, I think we look, when we looked on there, we were actually seeing the per, per, I mean, I'm running thousands and thousands of these and you know, yeah, it's like under a hundred dollars a month.

And that's, I mean, when I say thousands, I mean like per day.

So it's, it's, it's not.

Obviously if they're going to be super, you can choose your instance type like with anything else.

These are really lightweight, non-computational kind of tasks to do.

Some people use Trigger for things like using FFmpeg to do encoding and things of that nature that are going to require a larger instance are obviously going to be more pricey.

So it really depends on everything in cloud on the workload, right?

The other thing I was going to tell you is that Vercel now has something called Workflows that they launched in beta.

Basically it's for free and it is trigger.dev for free.
