  • bull

    Premium Queue package for handling distributed jobs and messages in NodeJS.

  • One standard approach to this is messaging queue. You put messages telling workers what to do, in a queue. Workers (in different processes or even machines) pick them up one by one and do the needful. A great Node package for this is bull, which implements a messaging queue on top of Redis. (There's also a TypeScript rewrite called BullMQ which is similar, and there's an AMQP adaptation, but I'll be focusing on bull here).

  • SurveyJS
