stacks-queue

To dispatch background jobs in a Stacks application, you can create and schedule jobs to process immediately or later. The system orchestrates execution across workers using sync, database, or Redis drivers, including retries and backoff support.

Monitoring queued jobs and worker health is handled through built-in observability features. The queue system provides health checks, metrics, and event hooks to track job progress and ensure reliable background processing across your application.

Yes, you can use Redis and database drivers for queueing jobs simultaneously. The multi-driver architecture supports sync, database, and Redis configurations, allowing you to dispatch and execute jobs across different storage backends within the same application.

Testing background jobs during development is supported through dedicated testing utilities. You can dispatch sample jobs to the default queue, observe immediate processing, and verify execution behavior using the provided job discovery and testing tools.

Yes, the queue system supports job batching and scheduled execution. You can group jobs into batches to track collective progress, schedule jobs for deferred processing, and utilize event hooks to monitor completion across your selected queue drivers.

A queue worker is needed for background job processing to automate and coordinate asynchronous tasks outside the main application flow. Workers execute dispatched jobs, handle retries with backoff, and ensure reliable processing without blocking user-facing operations.
