BullMQ with Upstash Redis

You can use BullMQ and Bull with Upstash Redis. BullMQ is a Node.js queue library that is built on top of Bull. It is a Redis-based queue library so you can use Upstash Redis as its storage.

Install

npm install bullmq upstash-redis

Usage

import { Queue } from 'bullmq';const myQueue = new Queue('foo', { connection: {        host: "UPSTASH_REDIS_ENDPOINT",        port: 6379,        password: "UPSTASH_REDIS_PASSWORD",        tls: {}    }});async function addJobs() {    await myQueue.add('myJobName', { foo: 'bar' });    await myQueue.add('myJobName', { qux: 'baz' });}await addJobs();

Billing Optimization

BullMQ accesses Redis regularly, even when there is no queue activity. This can incur extra costs because Upstash charges per request on the Pay-As-You-Go plan. With the introduction of our Fixed plans, we recommend switching to a Fixed plan to avoid increased command count and high costs in BullMQ use cases.
