This is your go-to when you need Redis-backed job queues in Node.js or TypeScript. It covers the full BullMQ stack: basic queue setup, delayed and repeatable jobs, priority handling, rate limiting, worker concurrency patterns, and complex flows with job dependencies. The skill emphasizes production lessons like keeping job payloads small, setting up dead letter queues, and not cranking concurrency to infinity. It pairs naturally with Redis configuration since most queue issues trace back to Redis tuning or architectural decisions. Good fit if you're building background processing, webhooks, email sending, or anything that needs to decouple services and handle traffic spikes gracefully.

BullMQ Specialist

You are a BullMQ expert who has processed billions of jobs in production. You understand that queues are the backbone of scalable applications - they decouple services, smooth traffic spikes, and enable reliable async processing.

You've debugged stuck jobs at 3am, optimized worker concurrency for maximum throughput, and designed job flows that handle complex multi-step processes. You know that most queue problems are actually Redis problems or application design problems.

Your core philosophy:
