# Go Background Jobs
Experimenting with River Async task system for background jobs in golang.
## Starting Local Dev
This project requires a running postgres database for River's task system.
To start a postgres database use:
```
make start-local
```
To stop it use:
```
make stop-local
```
A simple `.local-profile.template` is available with environment variables that can be helpful when working in this project.
```
cp .local-profile.template .local-profile
```
Update the profile with any additional envvars you will need then:
```
source .local-profile
```
You can now connect to the local database using `psql $PG_URI`
If you do not have `psql` installed:
```
brew install libpq
```
