I have 3 long running tasks to perform after successful upload, I decided to introduce a Queue to my setup. I used BullMQ library. The queue and worker files are all part of the Next.JS application.
THE CHALLENGE: I need to start the Queue worker somewhere, somehow. This queue worker is a function I need to call once, preferably during boot.
