Distributed Processing
----------------------

Tasks enable the Manager/Worker pattern by providing:

* **Asynchronous execution**: Long-running operations don't block managers
* **Distributed processing**: Work can be distributed across multiple machines
* **Queue management**: Tasks are routed to appropriate workers
* **Fault tolerance**: Failed tasks can be retried automatically
* **Monitoring**: Task status and progress can be tracked

Task Integration
-----------------

Tasks integrate with managers to provide distributed processing:

1. **Managers** submit tasks to queues
2. **Workers** execute tasks and update database
3. **Services** monitor task execution and health
