Adding job with file buffer as data

[Omers-Frontegg]

Say i have a service that accepts uploaded files and a worker service that processes those files.
Is it a bad practice to pass the files buffer as jobs data?

Yes, it is a bad practice, as Redis RAM is usually quite scarce in relation to disk. So normally you will just store the file elsewhere (S3 or other similar file storage) and just store in the jobs the links to the data.
