In transformap we do a lot of screenshots at once so we had to add a worker queue to limit the concurrent processes.

To get this implemented fast we choose

to use a redis backed queue (bull)
serve a placeholder directly and trigger background screenshot, which will be served only at some later request

Just reporting here in case there is some demand for similar behavior.

I'm not sure that it will be implemented in the nearest future by me... but I'm opened for PR
