Worker mode is an architectural pattern that enables web applications to handle resource-intensive tasks asynchronously and efficiently. It separates the main application thread from background processing to maintain optimal performance and user experience.
- Improved Performance: By offloading heavy tasks to background workers, the main application remains responsive and fast
- Better Resource Management: Workers can distribute system resources effectively across different tasks
- Scalability: Easy to scale worker processes independently based on workload demands
- Enhanced User Experience: Users don't experience delays while complex operations run in the background
- Order Processing: Handle payment processing, inventory updates, and order fulfillment in the background
- Inventory Management: Process bulk product updates and synchronization with external systems
- Email Notifications: Send order confirmations, shipping updates, and marketing emails asynchronously
- Report Generation: Create complex reports and analytics without impacting store performance
- Image Processing: Handle product image optimization and variant generation in the background
- Price Updates: Manage bulk price changes and promotional updates efficiently
