System Documentation

What problem does it solve?

Not all work happens in a request-response cycle. Sending emails, generating reports, processing files: these belong in background jobs. Use job queues (Bull/BullMQ in Node, Celery in Python) to decouple work from HTTP responses.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Long-running tasks (report generation, file processing, ML pipelines)
  • Retryable work (email delivery, webhooks, data syncs)
  • Scheduled work (cron jobs, daily reports, cleanup)
  • Rate-limited external APIs (YouTube uploads, Slack posts)

Quick Start

Use the background job system to configure a queue and a worker for a sample task.
