In the twelve-factor app, processes are a first class citizen.
Processes in the twelve-factor app take strong cues from the unix process model for running service daemons.
Using this model, the developer can architect their app to handle diverse workloads by assigning each type of work to a process type.
For example, HTTP requests may be handled by a web process, and long-running background tasks handled by a worker process. Cheers!!
