render-background-workers

You can deploy background workers on Render using a worker blueprint configured to consume from a Redis or Postgres broker. This Skill provides minimal setup patterns for frameworks like Celery, Sidekiq, BullMQ, Asynq, and Oban.

Render background workers support Python Celery, Node BullMQ, Ruby Sidekiq, Go Asynq, and Elixir Oban. This Skill provides framework-specific references to wire these queue workers to Render for async task processing.

You need a broker service such as Redis or Postgres to run queue workers on Render. The worker blueprint consumes jobs from this broker to process asynchronous tasks reliably.

Graceful shutdown for background workers on Render is handled via SIGTERM signals and maxShutdownDelaySeconds. This Skill provides guidance on configuring proper shutdown handling to prevent job loss during deploys.

Use a background worker for continuous queue-based job processing, and a cron job for scheduled tasks. This Skill includes guidance on choosing between workers, cron jobs, and workflows based on your task requirements.

Background workers lose jobs during Render deploys if graceful shutdown is not configured. Proper shutdown handling via SIGTERM and maxShutdownDelaySeconds allows workers to finish processing queue jobs before termination.
