What problem does it solve?

This Skill enables the implementation of asynchronous background jobs and scheduled tasks in Wasp applications, offloading long-running operations from the main request cycle. It ensures application responsiveness and reliability for tasks like email sending, data processing, and recurring reports.

Core Features & Use Cases

• PgBoss Integration: Leverages PgBoss for robust job queuing, scheduling (cron), and retry mechanisms, requiring PostgreSQL.
• Asynchronous Task Execution: Guides on defining and implementing job functions that run independently, preventing UI freezes and timeouts.
• Programmatic & Scheduled Triggers: Explains how to trigger jobs from Wasp actions or schedule them using cron expressions for recurring tasks.
• Use Case: Set up a Wasp job called emailSender that sends a welcome email to new users. This Skill will guide you to define the job, implement its function, and trigger it from your signup action, ensuring emails are sent reliably in the background.

Quick Start

Set up a Wasp job called emailSender that sends a welcome email to new users. Schedule it to run immediately after a user signs up.
