SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Upstash Workflow + QStash enable reliable, scalable asynchronous workflows by coordinating fan-out processing across multiple layers, reducing manual orchestration and improving throughput.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Dry-Run Mode: Gather statistics without triggering actual execution to validate setup.
  • 🌟 Fan-Out Pattern: Split large batches into smaller chunks for parallel processing.
  • 🎯 Single Task Execution: Execute business logic for ONE item per run within a multi-layer flow.
  • Common use cases include batch data processing, event-driven automation, and complex orchestrations that benefit from per-item guarantees.

Quick Start

Trigger the process-items workflow in dry-run mode to validate configuration and then run the full pipeline to process items.

FAQPage Schema
How do I orchestrate fan-out processing for large batches using Upstash Workflow?

You orchestrate fan-out processing by using QStash to coordinate a three-layer pattern: process, paginate, and execute. This approach splits large batches into smaller chunks for parallel processing, improving throughput and reliability across multiple layers.

Can I run a dry-run to validate my Upstash workflow configuration before executing tasks?

Yes, you can trigger the workflow in dry-run mode to gather statistics without triggering actual execution. This validates your setup and ensures your process, paginate, and execute layers are configured correctly before running the full pipeline.

How do I execute business logic for a single item within an asynchronous workflow?

You execute business logic for one item per run using the single task execution pattern. This provides per-item guarantees within a multi-layer flow, ensuring isolated processing for each entry in your batch data processing or event-driven automation pipeline.

What environment variables do I need to trigger Upstash workflows with QStash?

You need APP_URL and QSTASH_TOKEN environment variables to trigger Upstash workflows. These credentials allow QStash to reliably coordinate the asynchronous fan-out processing across your application layers.

When should I use QStash pagination in an asynchronous workflow?

You use QStash pagination when handling large-batch scenarios that require chunking and filtering before per-item execution. Pagination prevents overwhelming downstream services by splitting data into manageable pages for reliable asynchronous processing.

Does Upstash Workflow support filtering and chunking before single-item execution?

Yes, Upstash Workflow supports filtering and chunking data before single-item execution. The three-layer pattern applies filtering to select items, chunks them for parallel fan-out processing, and then executes per-item safeguards to ensure reliable task completion.
