Show HN: NextMQ – managed BullMQ for serverless Next.js

NextMQ launches a managed BullMQ service for serverless Next.js applications, handling job queues with auto-retry, backoff, rate-limiting, and deduplication without requiring Redis or infrastructure management. The service integrates via a single webhook handler and offers real-time queue monitoring and alerts.

Auto-retry & backoff Throw, and we retry with fixed or exponential backoff. Schedule jobs with auto-retry, parallel execution, rate-limiting, deduplication, and parent-child dependencies. // A slow LLM call outlives a serverless function, and a // burst trips the provider's 429 — run it off-request, // throttled and in parallel. import { Worker } from '@nextmq/sdk' export const ai = new Worker 'ai', async job = { return await openai.responses.create job.data.input }, { limiter: { max: 10, duration: 1000 }, // 10 calls / sec concurrency: 25, // 25 in flight } The same Queue , Worker , and FlowProducer — without the complex infrastructure, seamlessly integrated into your Next.js app. // The logic runs in your app, the queue runs on ours // — connected by a single webhook handler. import { createNextMQHandler } from '@nextmq/sdk/next' import { ai } from '@/jobs/ai' export const { GET, POST } = createNextMQHandler { workers: ai , } NextMQ runs the open-source BullMQ engine that's processed billions of jobs a day since 2011. Battle-tested core, none of the ops. Throw, and we retry with fixed or exponential backoff. Delayed and repeating jobs on timezone-aware cron. Set per-queue concurrency; jobs run in parallel. Cap calls per window so you never blow a provider quota. Drop duplicate jobs by key — the work runs once. Fan out parent/child graphs and gather child results. | Queue | Completed | Failed | Err | |---|---|---|---| | ai | 62.4k | 180 | 0.3% | | 211k | 42 | 0.0% | | | payments | 47.9k | 610 | 1.3% | | webhooks | 18.3k | 96 | 0.5% | Inspect, debug, or replay your BullMQ queues in real time — and get alerted the moment failures spike. Start free, upgrade to Pro for production, and talk to us for a dedicated setup. For testing and small projects. For production workloads. For dedicated infrastructure. Drop-in BullMQ-compatible SDK. No server, no Redis, no webhook plumbing.
