title: Is it possible to create a long running process in NodeJs
body: <p>Is it possible to create a long running process in NodeJs to handle many background operations without interrupting the main thread; something like Celery in Python.</p>
  
  <p>Hint, it's highly preferable to be able to manage that long-running process, in case of failure, or need to be restarted, away from the main process.</p>
