Decouple heavy background jobs (emails, video transcode) with reliable Redis-backed BullMQ queues.
BullMQ Job Processing
const { Queue, Worker } = require('bullmq');
const emailQueue = new Queue('emails', { connection: { host: 'localhost', port: 6379 } });
// Producer adds job
await emailQueue.add('sendWelcome', { email: 'alex@example.com', name: 'Alex' });
// Consumer worker processes job
const worker = new Worker('emails', async (job) => {
console.log(`Processing email to ${job.data.email}`);
});
