Start a background task worker

To start a worker to run background tasks for a single function, define a task and call .serve() on it.

Trigger a background task

To trigger a background task, call .delay() on the same task in a different terminal.
.delay() has the same signature as the @task decorated function.

Start a worker to run background tasks for multiple functions

To start a worker to run background tasks for multiple functions, call serve() with the tasks you want to run.

Submit multiple background tasks

To submit multiple background tasks, call .map() on the task with deferred=True.
.map() accepts Iterable[P.args], Iterable[P.kwargs] or unmapped inputs.
If you want to keep one argument mapped and the other unmapped, you can do so by passing unmapped to the mapped argument.
