Use Cases

8

Intensive work offloaded and distributed

amongst worker processes to be performed

asynchronously

- Processing images or videos

- Performing text analytics

Event Driven

Take one or more actions when something

interesting happens

- Email logs and update dashboards when build finishes

- Upload videos once finished transcoding

Worker Offload


Use Cases

9

Schedule a task to happen at a specific point in

time

- Run in detailed reports when app use is low

- Generate end of day summary

Ensure applications remain responsive even when

3rd party system are not available or responding

fast enough
