Running workers

Running a worker

Workers are responsible for fetching tasks, executing them and reporting completion status back to a taskbroker. Before you can run a worker, you'll need to start a taskbroker. There are a few options for running workers:

# Run a worker in the foreground
sentry run taskworker

# Run a worker as part of the devserver
sentry devserver --workers

# Foreground the worker from a devservices mode like `ingest`
devservices foreground taskworker

Running a task scheduler

The task-scheduler is responsible for reading the task schedules from settings.TASKWORKER_SCHEDULES and spawning tasks as schedules become due.

sentry run taskworker-scheduler

Running taskbroker

Taskbroker can be started as a background service with devservices

devservices up --mode=taskbroker
