Asynchronous Task Processing: BullMQ, Redis Streams & Distributed Job Schedulers
Offloading long-running jobs: queue prioritization, exponential backoff retries, concurrency control, and distributed lock management with Redlock.
Long-running tasks—such as PDF generation, email batching, and video transcoding—must be offloaded from HTTP request loops into asynchronous worker queues.
1. Worker Pool Concurrency & Retry Engineering
⚙️ Exponential Backoff & Jitter
Failed queue jobs should always execute with exponential backoff (`delay = base * 2^attempt + jitter`) to prevent cascading retry storms against downstream third-party APIs.
