Overview

Graphile Worker for Nest.js is a powerful tool designed to seamlessly integrate job queuing capabilities into your applications using PostgreSQL. Specifically tailored for those who are already using PostgreSQL in their tech stack, this wrapper for Graphile Worker allows developers to run jobs such as sending emails, performing calculations, or generating PDFs in the background, thus ensuring that HTTP responses are quick and efficient. By leveraging the strengths of Nest.js, developers can utilize this worker without the need for an additional Redis server, making it a clean and efficient choice.
