| description | Generate BullMQ job queue setup and workers. Use when implementing background jobs. |
Queue Generator
Background jobs need queues, workers, and retry logic. Describe your job and get a complete BullMQ setup.
One command. Zero config. Just works.
Quick Start
npx ai-queue "send welcome email after signup"
What It Does
- Generates BullMQ queue configuration
- Creates worker code with proper error handling
- Includes retry logic and backoff strategies
- Sets up job scheduling
Usage Examples
npx ai-queue "send welcome email after signup"
npx ai-queue "process payment and update order status"
npx ai-queue "generate daily report at midnight"
Best Practices
- Idempotent jobs - same input, same result
- Set reasonable timeouts - don't hang forever
- Log job progress - know what failed
- Handle failures gracefully - retry with backoff
When to Use This
- Adding background processing to your app
- Moving slow operations out of requests
- Setting up scheduled tasks
- Learning job queue patterns
