Usage example where worker processes are optimized using throng.

-
Ensure you have a local redis instance running. You can start one using the docker-compose.yml file in the root of this project
$ docker compose up -
start the worker and specify the number of concurrent workers
$ WEB_CONCURRENCY=4 node worker.js -
start the web server in a separate process
$ node index.js -
Schedule a job with an http request:
curl -X POST http://localhost:3000/queue -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d '{"x":1, "y":7}'
You will see the worker processes start up and begin to consuming jobs. the output will be the sum of x and y.
