The current code for background tasks isn't fantastic, and is a good candidate to be extracted into a standalone service.
# Requirements
* Central HTTP API to initiate various background tasks
* Tasks are ultimately just CLI scripts.
* Tasks can be run on remote machines to scale out.
* Tasks can push progress updates and logs back to the server.
# Implementation Ideas/Notions
* Jobs identified by UUIDs, generated by API consumer.
* Need to think about priority-queue behavior that round-robins through client tenants, to prevent one tenant from DOSing the service.
* How to push updates back to server?
  * Just write to stdout and have server read output?
  * Run jobs in background and have them PUT/POST updates back to service
    * PSR-3 logger, or Stream/Writer for Monolog?  Async?
* Client apps can poll server for updates.
