Queues
Last updated Jan 28, 2026 - Queues Reference
Producers
Specify Queue producers to add to your environment as follows:
const mf = new Miniflare({
queueProducers: { MY_QUEUE: "my-queue" },
queueProducers: ["MY_QUEUE"], // If binding and queue names are the same
});
Consumers
Specify Workers to consume messages from your Queues as follows:
const mf = new Miniflare({
queueConsumers: {
"my-queue": {
maxBatchSize: 5, // default: 5
maxBatchTimeout: 1 /* second(s) */, // default: 1
maxRetries: 2, // default: 2
deadLetterQueue: "my-dead-letter-queue", // default: none
},
},
queueConsumers: ["my-queue"], // If using default consumer options
});
Manipulating Outside Workers
For testing, it can be valuable to interact with Queues outside a Worker. You can do this by using the workers option to run multiple Workers in the same instance:
const mf = new Miniflare({
workers: [
{
name: "a",
modules: true,
script: `
export default {
async fetch(request, env, ctx) {
await env.QUEUE.send(await request.text());
}
}
`,
queueProducers: { QUEUE: "my-queue" },
},
{
name: "b",
modules: true,
script: `
export default {
async queue(batch, env, ctx) {
console.log(batch);
}
}
`,
queueConsumers: { "my-queue": { maxBatchTimeout: 1 } },
},
],
});
const queue = await mf.getQueueProducer("QUEUE", "a"); // Get from worker "a"
await queue.send("message"); // Logs "message" 1 second later
