How long does the job get to run?

Would be really awesome if this could be used to offload long lived jobs from the request.

Defer.run is building this for vercel and it’s really cool.

You can use Queues for this :)

I wish this had a built in rate limit, I wanted to hit an api with lots of test data, I didn't need to actually wait for the response and I didn't really care how long they took.

I just needed to limit how fast the http requests went.

I guess I could do this with the delay and calculate how long it would need to wait.
