Redis HTTP Queue

This project is a basic queuing system using Redis, TypeScript, and Express. It allows you to add tasks to a queue and process them asynchronously.

Warning: This won't be kept up to date and I am just publishing this for a project I am making.

Features

• Add tasks to the queue via an API endpoint
• Process queued tasks using Axios for HTTP requests
• Use environment variables for configuration
• Strongly-typed environment variables using Zod

Prerequisites

• Node.js
• pnpm
• Redis
