Thanks @Matt for reply. I am not able to find the code implementation for nextjs. I did figure out the bindings part. For example:
async queue(){} there is nothing like that in nextjs… so how to hook that in nextjs. Thanks

Matt Silverlock•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 Silverlock•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).

Unsmart•3/31/24, 5:54 PM

Matt Silverlock•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.

Isaac McFadyen•4/2/24, 3:45 AM

In general you don't want to have a delay for this very long-term type of thing (i.e. what if the user deletes their account? You don't want to be scheduling a task for one year and then sending a deleted user a reminder email).

Isaac McFadyen•4/2/24, 3:45 AM

Instead the general way this is done is by setting a task that runs every hour (for example, with Workers Cron events or another service) that checks a database for any tasks that need to be completed, runs them, and then sets them to Completed.

Isaac McFadyen•4/2/24, 3:45 AM

That way, if the user deletes their account or you need to cancel the task for any reason you just delete any tasks associated with that user.

switzOP•4/3/24, 4:14 PM

There is object delete :cool_doge:

switzOP•4/3/24, 4:14 PM

“Note: During the beta, deletes that occur as a result of object lifecycle policies will not trigger this event”

Ahhhh crap. Why is there always a caveat lol

switzOP•4/3/24, 4:15 PM

That’s a blocker

squareclamp•4/3/24, 4:20 PM

Any tips on how I can investigate why some messages in queues are listed in dashboard but aren't being processed? I suppose maybe they have delay - I can't confirm dashboard but I also don't remember configuring delay to several hours.

squareclamp•4/3/24, 4:25 PM

Looking at the chrome isnpector, the messages have delay < 1 hour - but its been several hours messages aren't processed.

                    "CF-Content-Type": "json",

My suspect is maybe having retry in code with max retries set to zero in config.. but changing max retry config hasn't helped.

The included tier is only available in the workers paid tier. (You need to pay for workers to get access to queues at all)

It literally says "Cloudflare Queues requires the Workers Paid plan to use, but does not increase your monthly subscription cost." at the top of this page lmao

Patrick M•4/4/24, 8:51 AM

Yes I know, I read that and though it was “paid” from reading articles before the I saw this page too. Then I saw “free tier” and thought my understanding was wrong. Turns out I understood it correctly. I think it would be easier to understand if they called it “included in workers paid” or something instead of “free tier”.

switzOP•4/4/24, 4:15 PM

Matt Silverlock•4/4/24, 7:27 PM

You'll need to write a Worker: https://developers.cloudflare.com/queues/examples/publish-to-a-queue-over-http/

you can consume from any HTTP client, but you'll need a Worker to write to a Queue for now.

switzOP•4/4/24, 7:27 PM

yeah, that's what I did. would be nice if you could off the shelf with the REST api/cloudflare typescript package. but only took me ~10 mins to write one myself

switzOP•4/4/24, 11:00 PM

is there a way to add an idempotent id for a queue message to avoid duplicate messages for messages that may already be in a queue?

my use case is: occasionally if an external entity is not cleaned up, I may send a message to a queue to clean it up – but if that message hasn't been handled yet, I'd rather not continue filling up the queue with the same message.

alternatively, if there's a way to see if the queue has a message that would also be helpful.

kalepail•4/4/24, 11:09 PM
