This document discusses worker processes and job queues. It introduces the concepts of a worker, which is a background process that waits for tasks from a user, and a job queue, which manages and distributes tasks to workers. It provides pseudocode examples of using a command pattern to serialize tasks into jobs that are put on a queue to be processed asynchronously by worker processes. The document recommends using process control and asynchronous processing to avoid latency issues from long-running tasks.
