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

# Email queue
npx ai-queue "send welcome email after signup"

# Payment processing
npx ai-queue "process payment and update order status"

# Scheduled job

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
