BullMQ vs Temporal

import { Queue, Worker } from 'bullmq';
import { Redis } from 'ioredis';

const connection = new Redis({ maxRetriesPerRequest: null });

// Producer: add jobs to the queue
const emailQueue = new Queue('emails', { connection });
await emailQueue.add('welcome', { to: 'alice@example.com', name: 'Alice' });

// Consumer: process jobs
const worker = new Worker('emails', async (job) => {
  console.log(`Sending email to ${job.data.to}`);
  await sendEmail(job.data);
}, { connection });

import { Worker, NativeConnection } from '@temporalio/worker';
import { workflowFn } from './workflows';

const worker = await Worker.create({
  connection: await NativeConnection.connect({ address: 'localhost:7233' }),
  namespace: 'default',
  taskQueue: 'my-queue',
  workflowsPath: require.resolve('./workflows'),
  activities: { greet: async (name) => `Hello, ${name}!` },
});

await worker.run();
