# Tasks

Tasks are the immutable units of work processed by [jobs](/guides/jobs). A task
consists of:

1. The __URL__ to process
    * Within a batch, every URL gets processed at most once.

2. The __batch__ the task belongs to
    * Like URLs, batches are strings.

Tasks get appended to the end of a message queue, and consumed from the
beginning. Because jobs can enqueue other tasks, jobs are both consumers
and producers of tasks.
