# NikaWorker

> Run and share packaged geoprocessing scripts in the cloud

## Overview

NikaWorkers lets your team run packaged geoprocessing scripts in the cloud directly from the NikaPlanet. Workers are built with [NikaGeoEngine](/nika-geoengine/overview) and pushed to your workspace — once published, anyone on the team can run them without additional setup.

Public workers from the community are also available to browse and run in [Nika Hub](/nika-planet/nika-hub).

## Key Features

### Run Workers from the Browser

* **Input files/folders**: Upload files or folders as inputs directly

* **Machine selection**: Choose a CPU or GPU machine type per job based on your workload

### Worker Jobs Monitoring

* **Job history**: See all past jobs for any worker, including machine type, duration, and exit status
* **Logs and Output access**: When a job succeeds, logs and output files are available for viewing or download for 3 days

### Library of Community Workers

Browse and run public workers published by other NIKA users in Nika Hub. Public workers run against your own workspace plan and compute quota.

### Worker Visibility & Management

* **Team workers** (default): visible and runnable by all members of your workspace
* **Public workers**: discoverable in Nika Hub by any NIKA user
* **Worker Management**
  * Rename workers, change icons, update visibility, and delete specific versions from the Workers page
  * Deleting a worker or a version also removes its associated job history

## Building and Deploying Workers

You can build your own NikaWorker locally with your custom geoprocessing script. Simply use the **[NikaGeoEngine](/nika-geoengine/overview)** to build and [push to NikaPlanet](/guides/custom-geoprocess-deployment/cloud-push) for your team members to use the NikaWorker you've built.
