<title>Background jobs in Clojure?</title>
<link>https://ask.clojure.org/index.php/12633/background-jobs-in-clojure</link>
<description>&lt;p&gt;In Ruby on Rails they have &lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;https://guides.rubyonrails.org/active_job_basics.html&quot;&gt;ActiveJob&lt;/a&gt; for implementing background jobs. Examples include &lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;https://github.com/collectiveidea/delayed_job&quot;&gt;delayed_job&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;https://github.com/resque/resque&quot;&gt;resque&lt;/a&gt;, etc.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Is there something similar in Clojure?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Basically, I want to have a REST end-point invocation which queues a long-running task to be run. Though it returns something like a job id immediately, not waiting for the task to finish. The task should continue to run in the background until it completes.&lt;/p&gt;
