background-jobs

Asynchronous background jobs process tasks like emails or external API calls in separate worker processes, ensuring the main application flow remains unblocked. This system uses Redis for queuing and state management to handle workflows reliably in the background.

Failed background tasks are handled reliably using built-in retry mechanisms with exponential backoff. Jobs that exhaust their retries are routed to a dead-letter queue, preventing task loss and allowing manual inspection of persistent failures.

Yes, Redis supports scheduled background tasks for recurring jobs like report generation and data synchronization. The system leverages Redis queues to manage execution timing and state for reliable async workflows.

Yes, the background queue system integrates with both TypeScript/JavaScript and Python environments. It supports worker processes and job handlers across these platforms to execute asynchronous tasks reliably.

The best way to avoid user wait times for emails is to enqueue a background job, such as type 'send-email' with the required payload. The worker process picks up the queued task asynchronously, completing the email send without blocking user responses.
