bullmq
A fast, reliable Redis-based distributed message queue and batch processing system for Node.js, Python, Elixir, and PHP.
What is bullmq?
BullMQ is a Redis-based distributed message queue and batch processing library that allows developers to manage background jobs, scheduled tasks, and complex workflows across multiple programming languages. It solves the problem of building scalable, reliable applications that require asynchronous processing and fault-tolerant job execution.
Developers and engineers building Node.js, Python, Elixir, or PHP applications that need robust background job processing, task scheduling, or distributed message queuing capabilities.
Developers choose BullMQ for its atomicity, reliability, and extensive feature set—including parent-child job dependencies, rate limiting, and deduplication—backed by Redis for high performance and persistence.
