Bullmq Specialist
A solid foundation for building job queues with BullMQ and Redis. You get production-ready patterns for delayed jobs, repeatable tasks, job flows with parent-child dependencies, and proper graceful shutdown handling. The principles are excellent: jobs should be idempotent, payloads should be small (pass IDs not objects), and exponential backoff beats linear every time. Includes Bull Board setup for visual monitoring and validation checks that catch common mistakes like missing maxRetriesPerRequest or awaiting queue.add in request handlers. If you're adding background jobs to a Node.js app and already have Redis, this gets you past the common pitfalls quickly.

BullMQ Specialist
BullMQ expert for Redis-backed job queues, background processing, and reliable async execution in Node.js/TypeScript applications.
Principles
- Await durable queue insertion and handle failures before acknowledging a request; worker completion can happen asynchronously
- Always set explicit job options - defaults rarely match your use case
- Idempotency is your responsibility - jobs may run more than once
- Backoff strategies prevent thundering herds - exponential beats linear
- Dead letter queues are not optional - failed jobs need a home
- Concurrency limits protect downstream services - start conservative
- Job data should be small - pass IDs, not payloads
- Graceful shutdown prevents orphaned jobs - handle SIGTERM properly
