QStash

A Ruby client for the QStash service from Upstash.

QStash is an HTTP-based messaging and scheduling solution, designed for serverless and edge computing environments, guaranteeing at-least-once delivery.

If you're coming from a Rails background, you'll be familiar with ActiveJob, Sidekiq, and/or DelayedJob for background job processing. QStash can run background jobs which may/may not be a use case if you're using Ruby in a serverless environment but it's also much more than that. It can:

• Schedule messages to be delivered at a later time.
• Serve as a FIFO message queue.
• Serve as a push based fanout exchange (think RabbitMQ).

Getting Started

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'qstash-rb'

Setup your thread safe configuration:

QStash.configure do |q|
  q.token = "your-qstash-token"
  q.url = "https://qstash.upstash.io"
end

or you can set the following ENV variables at runtime:

QSTASH_TOKEN=your-qstash-token
QSTASH_URL=https://qstash.upstash.io

Messages

Publish

To publish a message to a queue:

QStash::Message.publish(destination: "https://example.com/api/message-receiver", body: "Hello, World!")

From Upstash's docs:

Destination can either be a topic name or id that you configured in the Upstash console, a valid url where the message gets sent to, or a valid QStash API name like api/llm. If the destination is a URL, make sure the URL is prefixed with a valid protocol (http:// or https://)

You can also pass in headers. We help format Upstash's headers for you if you pass them in:

- "Upstash-Method",
- "Upstash-Timeout",
- "Upstash-Retries",
- "Upstash-Callback",
- "Upstash-Failure-Callback",
- "Upstash-Forward-*
- "Upstash-Delay",
- "Upstash-Not-Before",
- "Upstash-Deduplication-Id",
- "Upstash-Content-Based-Deduplication"

QStash::Message.publish(
  destination: "https://example.com/api/message-receiver",
  body: "Hello, World!",
  headers: { upstash_retries: 2 }
)

Enqueue

To enqueue a message to a queue:

QStash::Message.enqueue(
  queue_name: "my-queue",
  destination: "https://example.com/api/message-receiver",
  body: "Hello, World!"
)

Batch

To batch publish messages:

QStash::Message.batch_publish(messages: [
  {
    destination: "https://example.com/api/message-receiver",
    body: "Hello, World!"
  },
  {
    destination: "https://example.com/api/message-receiver",
    body: "Hello, World Again!",
    headers: { upstash_retries: 2 }
  }
])

QStash::Message.get("1234") # 1234 is the message id
