Worker

Worker process

A separate process or container that pulls tasks from a queue and executes them in the background. Workers offload long-running AI tasks, imports, or exports from the frontend and backend.

Why it matters

Performs heavy lifting outside the main application: emails, imports, AI generation run in the background while the dashboard and website remain responsive.

What's missing without it

Without worker processes, long-running tasks compete with user requests for the same resources — everything slows down at once.

When it is used

Used in conjunction with a task queue: newsletter deliveries, media processing, exports, AI tasks.

How we use it

A GPU worker pulls a dubbing task, generates audio, and updates the status in the CMS database.
