@Queues - You can now configure pull-based consumers (aka "HTTP Pull") in Queues! Pull-consumers can run outside of Cloudflare, pull + ack over HTTP, and scale out concurrently.

Example:

➜  curl "https://api.cloudflare.com/client/v4/accounts/${CF_ACCOUNT_ID}/queues/${QUEUE_ID}/messages/pull" -X POST --data '{}' \
     -H "Authorization: Bearer ${QUEUES_TOKEN}" \
     -H "Content-Type:application/json"

➜  curl "https://api.cloudflare.com/client/v4/accounts/${CF_ACCOUNT_ID}/queues/${QUEUE_ID}/messages/pull" -X POST --data '{}' \
     -H "Authorization: Bearer ${QUEUES_TOKEN}" \
     -H "Content-Type:application/json"

➜  curl "https://api.cloudflare.com/client/v4/accounts/${CF_ACCOUNT_ID}/queues/${QUEUE_ID}/messages/pull" -X POST --data '{}' \
     -H "Authorization: Bearer ${QUEUES_TOKEN}" \
     -H "Content-Type:application/json"

➜  curl "https://api.cloudflare.com/client/v4/accounts/${CF_ACCOUNT_ID}/queues/${QUEUE_ID}/messages/pull" -X POST --data '{}' \
     -H "Authorization: Bearer ${QUEUES_TOKEN}" \
     -H "Content-Type:application/json"

I can't comment on that limit, but you could always temporarily store the message somewhere, then put an identifier in the queue and retrieve that identifier on the queue event.

@Queues We've just shipped the ability to delay messages

both when writing to a queue as well as when retrying. This can also be set at the queue and/or consumer level as a default delay that applies to all messages.

ending:

// Delay a singular message by 600 seconds (10 minutes)
await env.YOUR_QUEUE.send(message, { delaySeconds: 600 })

// Delay a singular message by 600 seconds (10 minutes)
await env.YOUR_QUEUE.send(message, { delaySeconds: 600 })

Retrying:

export default {
  async queue(batch: MessageBatch, env: Env, ctx: ExecutionContext) {
    for (const msg of batch.messages) {
      // Mark for retry and delay a singular message
      // by 3600 seconds (1 hour)
      msg.retry({delaySeconds: 3600})

    }
  },
};

export default {
  async queue(batch: MessageBatch, env: Env, ctx: ExecutionContext) {
    for (const msg of batch.messages) {
      // Mark for retry and delay a singular message
      // by 3600 seconds (1 hour)
      msg.retry({delaySeconds: 3600})

    }
  },
};

You can also split the message and write a batch, or write to R2 and use the upcoming Event Notifications feature to trigger an "event" when you write to R2 into a Queue so you can post-process the data.

You can apply an exponential back off on each attempt - we’ll soon be exposing the # of attempts as part of the message metadata. With that and the ability to set a delay you can write your own back off alg.

@Matt interestingly, looks like SQS will wait a short amount of time before responding if there are no messages (

 Pull consumers are designed to use a "short polling" approach, this means that the API from CloudFlare will respond immediately with any messages that are available, or an empty response if there are no messages available, this is different from SQS will wait an amount of time before responding with an empty response.

SQS supports two modes: long and short. Right now we support what’s typically known as short - which is more aligned with the idea of “pulling” when you’re ready. TBD on whether long pulling makes sense vs other work.

Matt SilverlockOP•3/30/24, 6:02 PM

Your queue consumer won’t be part of your Next.js app - that’s not how your app would work. You write to the queue from your Next.js app. This isn’t a limitation of Queues - your Next.js app doesn’t have a concept of a “queue consumer” here since it’s request-response driven.

What are you trying to use a queue for here?

mau•3/31/24, 5:07 AM

I am developing an e-learning application and focusing on optimizing data processing. Our system evaluates quiz answers in real-time, providing immediate feedback. We store the quiz progress and answers in MongoDB, allowing students to resume their work without any issues.However, we face a challenge with the delay users experience at the result screen. This delay occurs because, currently, when a student submits a quiz, we transfer the data from MongoDB to PostgreSQL. This data transfer and processing happen in the same route as the quiz submission, leading to a wait time for the user to see their results. To mitigate this, we are considering implementing queues to handle the data transfer process separately, thereby reducing the load during submission and speeding up the display of results. Additionally, we are exploring the use of key-value stores or durable objects to further optimize this workflow.

Matt SilverlockOP•3/31/24, 3:33 PM

It’s hard to fully understand your architecture at this level, but if you want to make your application more real time, I’m not sure how Queues would do that. Using a Durable Object or just D1 would likely be better - no need to “sync” or wait on data? It’s a quiz. It should be immediate.

mau•3/31/24, 3:36 PM

Result will be still immediate, it’s just I was thinking to build a asynchronous way of moving data from mongo (which is used to store data while users are working on the quiz) to Postgres’s (which is final destination)… I’m also exploring d1 (because I need something which allows unstructured data and it’s quick which will replace mongo).

Matt SilverlockOP•3/31/24, 10:02 PM

Right, if the user response does NOT need to block on that data movement, then Queues can be used as a way to batch up changes and then write them to Postgres from your consumer.

You would bind to the Queue and call

send()

send()

within your Next.js app exactly like the Pages tutorial I sent you.

Your consumer

the part that consumes the messages and writes to Postgres - would just be a standalone Worker.
