Is there a way to control the time gap between each batch?

YYigal Is there a way to control the time gap between each batch?

Matt Silverlock•2/15/24, 11:33 PM

You can set the batch interval. If you need to delay messages, then see queues

piffie•2/22/24, 2:31 PM

Are there statistics available how long it takes for a queue to send it to an consumer? Is it typically less than a second? (not counting retries or something, just the typical case)

AApro Can we implement a queue consumer that is not a worker?

Soon: queues

We're also going to be changing the default content type — this will NOT be a breaking change as this will only impact new Workers and/or users that use the compatibility flag — to jsonjson, from the existing v8v8 default. This will improve compatibility with pull-based consumers when we release them.

Hey question - if you place your consumer for a queue in the same worker that calls it, does it spawn a separate "process" or w/e the right terminology is, that is has its own resources? Or does it run in the same worker process?

Conner•2/27/24, 8:32 PM

Question on batch splitting if anyone knows answer:

If my batch messages are like { task_id, subtask_data }{ task_id, subtask_data }, and when I call sendBatch all messages in the batch have the same task_idtask_id, then can I guarantee that all messages in the consumer have the same task_idtask_id? Or will retries or max batch sizes mess with this?

Matt Silverlock•2/28/24, 8:16 AM

No, you can't guarantee that today. The batches you write can't be the same as the batches you receive - because you might write smaller batches than you want to consume (max_batch_size) or wait for (max_wait_time).

Hello, is there any estimate on when the feature of adding a delay will be released if a retry occurs in a message? My messages are trying immediately after failing and then leaving the queue, causing me to lose data

Sébastien Morel•2/28/24, 8:33 PM

hello here, I could debug that sending a simple payload to a queue is making my producer worker crazy slower. would you see a reason? Do queues have locations ?

Sébastien Morel•2/28/24, 8:40 PM

I am talking about hundred of milliseconds to .send.send to a queue. (that if I understood it right) must be awaited...
I can't be the only one experiencing that, right ?

Sébastien Morel•2/28/24, 8:51 PM

ha! that's interesting

Sébastien Morel•2/28/24, 8:51 PM

cause I have logged more, and the

send

send

takes between 200ms and 300ms

Sébastien Morel•2/28/24, 8:53 PM

I think the document should mention that, cause I won't be the last following it

dsds10•2/28/24, 9:15 PM

Maybe you could try disabling retry and instead use a dead letter queue with higher timeout, or store fail state in kv and check every message if it was retried, then just let it wait the amount of time you need (since you don‘t pay for wall clock time anyway)

dsds10•2/28/24, 9:24 PM

What I‘m wondering (and sorry if it was already answered here, couldn‘t find it) is, why is there a generous limit of 10k queues per account when you can‘t produce/consume messages outside of a worker? Is this a prep for the http pull? But then again, you can only produce messages with a queue binding, which won‘t let you create a queue per user (at least outside of enterprise plan) although the changelog says this limit is „enabling easier per-user […] use-cases“

Smaller batches is okay. I'm worried if fragmented batches might be mixed back together? Sounds like yes

Matt Silverlock•2/29/24, 12:41 AM

Correct - batches aren’t kept separate because most folks don’t want that. If you do, then set your max batch size to 1 + send your batches as a single array when calling send()

Matt Silverlock•2/29/24, 12:42 AM

We’ve discussed allowing batching by an object/JSON key, which would achieve this correctly. No timeline yet.

Conner•2/29/24, 12:44 AM

Makes sense okay

Conner•2/29/24, 12:44 AM

Yeah the option for consumer delay / send delay is a bigger ask haha
Would love to see that

Conner•2/29/24, 12:46 AM

Extra note on this though
For batching by parent key, would be amazing if another event was fired for when all child tasks all done
So could track success/fail of parent based on child tasks
Having to hit db everytime for that rn

Alisson Acioli•3/1/24, 11:48 AM

@Matt Is there a forecast for the delay in messages that failed to be rerun again?

Alex•3/1/24, 9:02 PM

Has anyone been having very long delays for messages to be picked up by consumers?
