Is Workers viable for running a function that takes minutes to complete?
I have a JavaScript function with Promise calls. It is responsible for running a Lighthouse-comparable feature called PageSpeed Insights API. It takes minutes before the function is executed because, just like a normal Lighthouse feature in the browser, it calculates metrics like performance and SEO for every website URL in the array I provide to the function. The problem is that it runs in the foreground of my Next.js app, preventing my users from clicking on any link, which would abort the whole process. The solution would be to ensure it runs in the background while users can still use my app. When the function is finished, a certain action should be performed on the Supabase database, and my Next.js app should know one way or another (perhaps using a webhook) that the function is finished.
I am wondering if Workers might be a good fit to take that function? I remember that it is based on Edge so perhaps it might be troublesome for a worker to execute a function that takes couple of seconds to complete? I've tried to check the docs about Workers but I did not understand much.

No VAT taxes on invoices
Hello everyone
I've just joined this server. On my invoices, I don't see any VAT tax prices included before the total price. Is that normal? I didn't enter my VAT ID in my account settings, so I am not subscribed to the Hobby plan as a business but rather as an individual.
