Job Worker Reliability
Treat asynchronous backend work as a delivery contract, not ordinary request code.
Workflow
- Identify trigger, queue/topic/schedule, worker process, concurrency model, lease/visibility timeout, and shutdown behavior.
- Classify delivery as scheduled, queued, event-driven, webhook-backed, batch, replay, or manual repair.
- Define idempotency key, durable state transition, retryable errors, permanent failures, dead-letter path, and replay behavior.
- Guard side effects with transactions, compare-and-set updates, unique constraints, checkpoints, or provider operation ids.
- Verify duplicate delivery, retry, permanent failure, partial batch failure, shutdown, replay, and observability.
- Pair with
