Asynchronous Task Processing: BullMQ, Redis Streams & Distributed Job Schedulers

By Moemecto Distributed Systems & Software Architecture Group

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.

⚙️ 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.
