🦬 Bull Queues for Node Version 2

Unfortunately, I need to discontinue this version of the Wappler Bull Queue Extension. But don't worry, it'll still be available on GitHub and NPM. However, you'll need to maintain it yourselves from now on, including submitting pull requests for any security fixes.

Current issues:

Bull Queues V3 is Almost Here

I'm really excited to let you know that Bull Queues V3 is almost done! This new version uses BullMQ instead of just Bull, and here’s why it's worth the upgrade:

  • Faster Performance: BullMQ is built to be quicker and handle more jobs efficiently.
  • More Reliable: It's designed to handle jobs better, so there's less chance of losing or duplicating jobs.
  • Cool New Features: Supports job priorities, lifecycles, and more control over job processing.
  • Flow Processor: The new version includes a flow processor for handling complex job workflows, like setting up relations where Job A handles tasks only after Job B is complete.
  • Better Integration: Works seamlessly with other tools and frameworks, making complex workflows easier to build.

Why Moving On from Bull Queues V2

Continuing with Bull doesn’t make much sense now because:

  1. Outdated Tech: BullMQ is a huge step up from the original Bull, so it makes more sense to use it.
  2. Community Focus: The community and developers are all about BullMQ now, so you’ll get better support and updates.
  3. Future-Proof: BullMQ ensures your apps are using the latest and greatest tech, keeping you ahead of the curve.

Accessing Bull Queues V3

BullMQ Queues V3 will be private and available to those who funded the project. So far, only one person has funded it. If you want to contribute financially and get access, please hit me up on GitHub Sponsorship. If you need alternative payment methods, you can DM me or email me at funding@tobi-vogel.com. I’m really sorry, but I just don’t have the bandwidth to offer it for free right now. Thanks for understanding!

I appreciate all your support and hope we can keep building great stuff together.

Cheers,
Tobi
