Cloudflare Queues
Easily add reliable message queues to your application
Process tasks asynchronously to improve reliability and performance.
BENEFITS OF CLOUDFLARE QUEUES
Reduce complexity
Remove the complexity of managing global message queues when sending messages between Workers and other Cloudflare services.
Reduce latency
Producer queues run from region: Earth vs in a single region, reducing application latency.
Guaranteed message delivery
Queues will guarantee that each message is stored on-disk and processed at-least once.
Top Queues use cases
Build event-driven systems on Workers with native bindings
Decouple services
Build event driven systems, consisting of decoupled services.
Run tasks asynchronously
Send jobs to downstream services for processing without blocking the request.
HOW IT WORKS
Buffer or batch operations for large volumes of messages
Cloudflare Queues provides an HTTP API for each queue from which any consumer can pull batches of messages for processing.
- Designate a Worker to process messages.
- Back off message requests based on limits imposed by external API services.
- Services send and receive at their own pace.
- Guaranteed to deliver at least once
