About Graphile Worker
A background job queue for PostgreSQL-backed Node.js applications.
Graphile Worker lets you offload tasks — such as sending emails, generating PDFs, or running calculations — to background workers so your main application code isn't blocked waiting for them to complete. It uses PostgreSQL as its queue store, meaning no additional infrastructure is required beyond a database you likely already have. It works with any PostgreSQL-backed application and pairs particularly well with PostGraphile and PostgREST.
Where to start
Install the package, point it at your existing PostgreSQL database, and define task handler functions that Graphile Worker will execute when jobs are queued. The project's documentation site at worker.graphile.org covers setup, task definition, and job scheduling in detail.
