Summary

We will go over an example template to work with queues in JavaScript using BullMQ and Redis, along with deploying a Fastify server to serve the dashboard. The template uses environment variables to establish a connection to the Redis instance, creates a new queue called WelcomeEmailQueue, and sets up a dashboard to visualize and monitor the queue. It also includes an endpoint to add jobs to the queue via an API request, where each request requires email and id query parameters. A dummy worker demonstrates job progress and randomly fails jobs to show how failed jobs look in the dashboard and can be retried. The template is intentionally simple and can be extended for more functionality and used with other queueing libraries.
