qstash-job-processing

What problem does it solve?

This Skill provides expert knowledge on QStash-based asynchronous job processing, including the job lifecycle (pending → processing → completed/error), retry logic, timeout handling, continuation scheduling, and debugging stuck jobs.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Job Lifecycle & Transitions: Understand states such as pending, processing, completed, error, and timeout.
• Continuation Pattern: Schedule long-running tasks in chunks to avoid timeouts.
• Retry & Timeout Handling: Implement automatic retries with exponential backoff and time-based limits.
• Debugging Stuck Jobs: Diagnose delays, failed deliveries, and retries with QStash dashboards and logs.

Quick Start

Create a qstash-based job and observe its progression through pending, processing, and completion. For long-running searches, schedule continuations and verify retries.
