This is a psuedo-code demo of a Next.js API route running as a Background Function on Netlify.

Find the code in batch-process.js which mocks generating invoices, creating PDFs and sending emails in a synchronous queue.

Enable Background Functions in your Next.js project

Add the following code to any API route in a Next.js project running on Netlify.
