Background Workers FAQ
- When should I use a background worker?
- For work that keeps running without answering HTTP, such as a queue consumer.
- Worker or cron job?
- A process that should keep running is a worker. A job that runs, finishes and exits fits a scheduled task better.
- Does a worker get a public URL?
- No. A worker has no URL and answers no requests; it reads from a queue or does its own work.
