Of course : )

Of course : ) So basically I want to locally debug the queue producer and queue consumer. The queue producer is a cloudflare pages app, built on Remix. The queue consumer is a worker with plain typescript, no framework. I kept the worker that simple intentionally because it doesn't need database access or routing or whatever, it's basically a proxy for queue consumption (because cloudflare pages apps can't consume from a queue yet and other limitations). If it was possible, I would use only the pages app as the producer and consumer. But my solution with having a separate consumer and producer is really not even what I want, but cloudflare's restriction of me not being able to use pages for everything means I need to split queue production and consumption. I can't put the queue consumption into the pages app because pages apps can't be consumers. I can't put the queue production into the worker script because I don't have access to database and everything there. Currently I just have a route on the pages app that I use as a workaround, but not being able to locally test pages<->workers communication via a queue is not nice

The most important use case: I have a pages fullstack app and I want it to send out a specific report for each user on sunday. The exact time is not important so with the current state, I have to go through hoops. This is my plan for when pages would be able to consume from queue AND get scheduled/cron events (like workers) Cron triggers a pages route -> pages app fetches all users from db and pushes an element {id: <userid>} into the queue for each user -> pages app then consumes from the queue one-by-one, creates a report for the given user and sends it to them. This way I can make sure every user gets one report without missing a user or sending double.

Feeling the same pain! Fullstack remix pages. Need to rate-limit backgroundjobs. (Using GCT instead) The only workaround as described above is not a solution on dev 😦

also, another of my use cases is being able to just do something in the background that the user started (for example LLM generation, should be a pretty current and popular example).
