Hi - I'm new to queues. Just made one, testing locally with

--remote

--remote

, and got:

Queues are currently in Beta and are not supported in wrangler dev remote mode.

Given this, is there no way for me to test in development? I need

--remote

--remote

for various other reasons; testing without that flag isn't an option.

I'm halfway finished with the implementation of local queues using durable objects in miniflare. This will allow you to have local persistent queues that can be shared between multiple workers instead of the in memory array based queues and therefore you can test distributed / microservice architectures using queues fully locally. May I ask why you need --remote? For me the biggest issue is the lack of local queues between multiple workers (the main purpose of queues).

MityaOP•1/30/25, 5:32 PM

Thanks. I need remote for two reasons, mainly. Firstly, and for some unknown reason, my Worker refuses to connect to my remote PG DB (even though I can connect to it on my machine via terminal). The only workaround was to use the remote flag and access via a hyperdrive. This seems to be a problem unique to me and my DNS or network or whatever. Secondly, I use CF AI.

MityaOP•1/30/25, 5:33 PM

Is there a preferred way to simulate queues locally with the remote flag? Sort of like the __schedule__schedule query string arg for testing CRON schedules locally.

MityaOP•1/31/25, 10:49 PM

Question. The docs say consumers get 30 seconds of CPU time. I'm trying to understand what this means practically. If my consumer is sent a batch of 10 messages, and each of those messages needs sending to e.g. an AI analysis API, is that likely to max out the 30 seconds of CPU time? How can one reliably predict CPU time for a given task?

?cpu-time

SuperHelpflare•1/31/25, 10:52 PM

CPU Time: the amount of work the CPU needs to do, measured in msms. More CPU-heavy things will increase it (for example, hashing passwords). This is not the same as the time a

fetch

fetch

request takes.
Wall Time: the actual amount of time a Worker runs for, as though you measured it with a clock or your browser DevTools

Isaac McFadyen•1/31/25, 10:52 PM

CPU time is not wall time.

Isaac McFadyen•1/31/25, 10:52 PM

If you're making external requests then you're unlikely to get even near 30s.

Isaac McFadyen•1/31/25, 10:52 PM

More likely you'd be in the tens of ms total.

Hi
I have deployed a queue that does the website crawling and have added many console logs

problem is that browser rendering only works with

 wrangler dev --remote

 wrangler dev --remote

but queue doesn't support it

if i am deploying its not showing my console, how to test it?

Tell mw one thing

To reuse sessions and to overcome the 10 session limit

Can i use durable object? Or workflow? Or queue is the best way?

Rahul gangotri•2/1/25, 6:43 AM

Because if all sessions are being used i need to wait and retry

even i tried connecting to baselime, it only show basic things like incoming request to queue endpoint and when queue is picked by consumer

that's all

no console logs nothing

Oo7 can Queues be used to batch cache purge a bunch of urls

MityaOP•2/1/25, 11:51 AM

Sure. The producer worker pushes the URLs into the queue, the consumer worker receives a batch of them, and then calls one of the cache purge API endpoints.

pat•2/2/25, 8:17 AM

I can also confirm that getting logs out of a queue consumer can be a bit moody. It works sometimes, not other times. Seems to come through immediately for requests to

fetch

fetch

though.

pat•2/2/25, 10:22 PM

Hey guys, is there any problem with recursive queue consumers/producers? I have a consumer that produces to the same queue it consumes from and it seems like metrics are significantly delayed. That said though, my queue jobs do take ~30s to run each and can only run one at a time by design. Perhaps it takes some time for a new deployment to be hooked up as I'm testing some stuff and deploying pretty often. I can see that the queue I am using is increasing in size and my db is getting new data so it is consuming and producing. It seems that as soon as I stop producing to the same queue I am consuming from, the metrics return

Another question that I am struggling to find any information on is how to interpret the execution duration GB-sec value on workers. What does this mean?

pat•2/2/25, 10:45 PM

Also is there a way to flush a queue? My queue grows much quicker than I consume it so once I have enough data I'd like to just flush all the messages to save the cpu time of consuming to ignore them

Sam•2/11/25, 4:59 PM

The master list of jobs to feed into the cron would you suggest using like an r2 or d1 or something? Then mark each as processed or something once each is done.

Brett Willis•2/12/25, 2:05 AM

Feature request: would be nice to be able to message set expiry (max age and/or max retries) at the message level.
We have a scenario where some messages are important to be processed eventually, and some messages should be discarded if not processed within a certain timeframe.

if you need more concurrency, create your own queue system with Durable Objects so it can be scaled infinitely

John Spurlock•2/17/25, 3:56 PM

yep you got it, the max batch wait time is 60 seconds [1], the backend rest api takes milliseconds [2], so wrangler multiplies the config value by 1000 [3], making the error message confusing : )

someone orange would have to speak to that - personally I would love to see larger values allowed there and also the batch size 100msg/256kb lifted a bit as well

ajgeiss0702•2/23/25, 9:09 PM

Did the queues

sendBatch

sendBatch

api change?
I've been running a worker in production for around 7 months now, and it has been working fine.
The past few days (first occurance was Febuary 21st, 23:40 UTC, and the previous successful evocation was 23:10 UTC), i've suddenly been getting an error: sendBatch() requires at least one messagesendBatch() requires at least one message

I've added an additional check in my code to make sure the batch isnt empty to fix the issue, but I missed 2 days of data (that I cannot recover) before I noticed the issue.

Is this a recent change in the queues api? I would appreciate it if you could ping me when you reply

Hello! How does one deploy multiple queue handlers (for different queues) in one single worker deployment project in wrangler?

So in my main index.ts I would like to have multiple queue consumer handlers for different queues.

import producerHandler from './producer';
import consumerHandler from './consumer';
import { Env, TrackingEvent } from './types';

export default {
    fetch: producerHandler.fetch,
    queue: consumerHandler.queue,
} satisfies ExportedHandler<Env, TrackingEvent>;

import producerHandler from './producer';
import consumerHandler from './consumer';
import { Env, TrackingEvent } from './types';

export default {
    fetch: producerHandler.fetch,
    queue: consumerHandler.queue,
} satisfies ExportedHandler<Env, TrackingEvent>;

James•2/24/25, 3:52 AM

You can only have one consumer function in your worker code, but you can get the name of the queue on MessageBatchMessageBatch: https://developers.cloudflare.com/queues/configuration/javascript-apis/#messagebatch

This way you can effectively handle multiple different queues and just change the code you execute depending on the queue name
