Workers are dumb
When doing heavy lifting in a webapp (anything from video transcoding to calling an API), a common practice is to take this heavy lifting out of the request and process it in the background. Doing so means the page can finish loading nice and quickly for the user. A common way to accomplish this is to use a message queue and workers. And workers are dumb.
