About BullMQ
Applications often need to run heavy tasks asynchronously without blocking HTTP requests or dealing with complex distributed message broker setups.
BullMQ is an open source message queue and background job system backed by Redis or PostgreSQL. It handles asynchronous workloads such as delayed jobs, scheduled tasks, parent-child job workflows, and high-concurrency worker pipelines.
The system supports multiple runtimes including Node.js, Bun, Python, .NET, Rust, Elixir, and PHP. Because the different language libraries share the same queue format, services written in different programming languages can add and process jobs from the same queue without custom bridges.
BullMQ is distributed under the MIT license without limitations on worker count or concurrency. It integrates with Redis, Valkey, DragonflyDB, AWS ElastiCache, and PostgreSQL backends.
