# @futureporn/temporal-worker

The system component which runs background tasks such as thumbnail generation, video encoding, file transfers, etc.

We use [Temporal](https://temporal.io/) for running "durable tasks".

This code gets built into commonjs by tsup because of some [Temporal wierdness](https://community.temporal.io/t/start-temporal-worker-in-webpack-project/11785) relating to how imports workflows.


### Temporal's monorepo reference
