Events, Workers & Async Processing

When this skill applies

Use this skill when a VTEX IO app needs to process work asynchronously through events, workers, or other background execution patterns.

• Consuming broadcasted events from other VTEX services
• Running background work that should not block HTTP responses
• Designing retry-safe handlers
• Processing batches or delayed jobs
• Building async integrations with external services

Do not use this skill for:

• defining HTTP route contracts
• designing GraphQL schemas or resolvers
• deciding app-level policies
• low-level client construction
