POSTing a JSON object with a name property to localhost:3000/submit submits a job to the system and the job is put on a "queue".

A "background daemon" runs every 500ms and POSTs the contents of the first item in the queue (such as there is one) to localhost:3001/process where the job is "processed".

The intention is for tracing should track the lifetime of a job through the system across execution and service boundaries.
