Simple Task Manager

This is a sample project. To get started:

$ npm i simple-task-manager

• Task
• Scheduler
• Manager
• Worker

How to handle multiple workers for a single queue in distributed machines/processes? Claim a task

We schedule a task to run. Execute task, increase run count when done.

• A task can be scheduled to be run immediately

  • ttl === 0

• A task can be scheduled to be run at a later date

  • ttl > 0

• A task can be run once

  • maxRuns === 0

• A task can be run multiple times

  • maxRuns > 0

• After an error a task can be retried if:

  • We have not gone over our tries maxTries < errorCount

• A task can be assigned a timeout period to run

  • timeout

• A task should have a timeout for execution time

• If we start queue and worker exits the task will not be picked up by worker. We need to be able to pick up timedout tasks and requeue them, using scheduler.

TODO

• Merge with simple-session-manager as it has many of the same components.
