That's interesting! Would that still involve each worker node needing to have Nodejs installed to run the process that actually reads from the queue? That's doable, but makes the deployment story a little more annoying/complicated if I want a worker that just runs Python or Rust or something.

Feature-wise, the biggest missing pieces from Graphile Worker for me are (1) a robust management web ui and (2) really strong documentation.

Yes, currently Node is the runtime but we could bundle that up into a binary blob if that would help; one thing to download rather than installing Node and all its dependencies?

A UI is a common request, something I’ve been considering investing effort into. I don’t think we’ll ever have one in the core package, but probably as a separate package/plugin (even a third party one); we’ve been thinking more about the events and APIs such a system would need and making these available, and adding a plugin system to enable tighter integration.

Could you expand on what’s missing in the documentation? That’s been a focus recently (as you may have noticed with the new expanded docusaurus site linked previously rather than just a README), but documentation can always be improved.
