BEST PRACTICES for BACKGROUND JOBS #cloudnative #firney

✳️ How to run background processes in a scalable environment.

In a 12-factor app, you should run admin/management tasks as one-off processes in an environment that is identicial to the long running processes of the app. This enables you to scale independently via different entrypoints.

In this instalment of our 12-factor Application Modernisation series Marc Firth (CEO @firney ) explains software engineering best practices for running background jobs when building scalable, reliable web services that are efficient to work with.
