Also: If you want to find if a message is already in the queue, wouldn't a method for that make more sense than one to get all messages?

The list is more of a “peek” for the most recent messages.

It is not for finding any message in the backlog/queue - that’s a non-trivial problem. If you had to paginate through thousands or millions of messages it would not be particularly efficient (and you would pay for reads).

If you have “stale” messages it might be better to do a KV read or D1 read in your consumer and delete (ack) messages that are no longer relevant vs trying to proactively find it in the queue.

Matt SilverlockOP•1/18/24, 1:16 PM

Note that if you had

ackMessages(Array<ids>)

ackMessages(Array<ids>)

you'd still have to store those IDs / run that operation somewhere, and the costs would be the same (read, delete) as consuming them. This isn't to say there isn't a way to make this more convenient, but it won't land this quarter

Does the per-queue message throughput limit not apply to batch queueing? I'm generating a few thousand messages to test it, and ran them all at once (adding them with batches of 100 each) expecting an error, but they appeared to all go through?

any updates on http pull + delay?

A

Ashley•1/24/24, 11:13 AM

I don't know if this is expected or not, but if you publish the same message content to a queue, should it produce another message? (I assume it should).

To simply explain, I have this line:

await env.LIVE_GAME_PRODUCER.send('check for game');

await env.LIVE_GAME_PRODUCER.send('check for game');

For reasons that aren't really important, this message is being produced every 5 minutes via a Worker cron. The first time the cron triggered, it worked, I saw a message in the dashboard, and could see logs of it being handled. Since that first message, even though the cron is triggering, no messages are reaching the queue. Is there some sort of deduplication happening? (and if so is this documented? As it seems a little odd, so hopefully I'm missing something)

A

Ashley•1/24/24, 11:40 AM

Well, actually, it's weirder. The backlog wasn't showing any, so I thought nothing was happening, but now it's refreshed so I guess messages were published. Then all of a sudden, 20+ mins after they'd been sitting in the queue, they all got consumed. I had

max_batch_size

max_batch_size

set to 1, so not sure if that had an impact, I don't see why it would... all quite strange.

Ashley•1/24/24, 1:27 PM

Yeah, I wouldn’t expect it too - would there be a reason for the above, where it built a backlog over 20 mins with 4 messages in the queue, but didn’t consume any? (Based on docs it would have hit the max batch or the timeout way before that)

The metrics in the dashboard are a little slow to update, but it now shows the problem: look at the consumer delay

Adi•1/28/24, 4:23 AM

Hey all, I had a question around the v8 serialization that Queues does to save objects that can't be json serialized.
I'm guessing under the hood it does something like this

const v8 = require('v8');
// Serialize an object into a buffer using v8
function serializeWithV8(obj) {
    return v8.serialize(obj);
}
// Convert the Buffer to a byte array (Uint8Array)
const byteArray = new Uint8Array(buffer.buffer, buffer.byteOffset, buffer.byteLength);
// Now you can send the byteArray over the network

const v8 = require('v8');
// Serialize an object into a buffer using v8
function serializeWithV8(obj) {
    return v8.serialize(obj);
}
// Convert the Buffer to a byte array (Uint8Array)
const byteArray = new Uint8Array(buffer.buffer, buffer.byteOffset, buffer.byteLength);
// Now you can send the byteArray over the network

const v8 = require('v8');
// Serialize an object into a buffer using v8
function serializeWithV8(obj) {
    return v8.serialize(obj);
}
// Convert the Buffer to a byte array (Uint8Array)
const byteArray = new Uint8Array(buffer.buffer, buffer.byteOffset, buffer.byteLength);
// Now you can send the byteArray over the network

const v8 = require('v8');
// Serialize an object into a buffer using v8
function serializeWithV8(obj) {
    return v8.serialize(obj);
}
// Convert the Buffer to a byte array (Uint8Array)
const byteArray = new Uint8Array(buffer.buffer, buffer.byteOffset, buffer.byteLength);
// Now you can send the byteArray over the network

However, I can see that the v8 api is not available in workers under

nodejs_compat

nodejs_compat

.

I was looking to making an API interface around queues for a project. Is there a chance that we can get v8 added to nodejs_compat? Is that something the team is already looking into?

fwiw you can see how it works at https://github.com/cloudflare/workerd/blob/5d27f8f7f1f9b584f673d2f11c9032f5a776ec55/src/workerd/api/queue.c%2B%2B#L33-L128

K

kian•1/28/24, 4:28 AM

it's not done in JS, so the V8 API isn't needed to be exposed

How would the first work? What is it meant to return? A queue can have tens of millions of messages.
