Delayed Job

Delayed jobs are not processed immediately but are handled after a specified amount of time has passed. Once processed, they are executed like regular jobs.

In PidginMQ, to delay a job, you can utilize the scheduleAt property, which is of type Date. This property allows you to specify the exact time when the job should be executed.

It's important to note that PidginMQ cannot guarantee that a job will be executed at the exact scheduled time, as this depends on various factors such as the worker's current load and availability.

Example

await client.addJob({
  kind: "welcome-mail",
  queue: "email",
  scheduleAt: new Date(2024, 8, 12, 9, 40, 40),
});
