n8n to Trigger.dev migration guide published
A comprehensive new documentation page maps n8n concepts to Trigger.dev code, helping users transition automated workflows to managed infrastructure.
Developers transitioning from n8n to Trigger.dev now have a dedicated migration guide to map their visual workflows to code. A new documentation page translates n8n nodes directly into Trigger.dev tasks, bridging the gap between node-based builders and code-first execution.
The guide features a concept map that pairs n8n components—like Webhook, Execute Sub-workflow, and Wait nodes—with their Trigger.dev SDK equivalents. It provides side-by-side TypeScript examples for four common patterns: webhooks, sub-workflow chaining, error handling, and delayed execution. A complete customer onboarding workflow is included to demonstrate a multi-day wait pattern, highlighting how long-running tasks pause securely without consuming active compute resources.

Adds a migration reference for users moving from n8n to Trigger.dev. Includes a concept map, four common patterns covering the migration-specific gaps, and a full customer onboarding example. The onboarding workflow highlights the 3-day wait pattern, an area where n8n's execution model has known reliability issues at production scale that Trigger.dev handles natively
