Buzz queues

Queues that deliver.

Exactly-once delivery. Dead-letter queues. 30-day retention. RESP3 wire protocol -- use any Redis client.

Buzz queues

Every message has an owner.

A message moves from the ready queue into an exclusive lease. Acknowledgment commits the handoff.

state: waiting
committed: 0
lease: none

An explicit handoff

A leased message remains in flight until the consumer acknowledges it. This example makes that boundary visible.

Message flow

Produce. Queue. Consume.

→
01

Produce

A message is written to a named queue with an optional deduplication key. Buzz persists it, assigns a sequence number, and acknowledges in a single round-trip.

||
02

Queue

Messages are durably stored with 30-day retention. Consumer groups partition messages for parallel processing. Rebalancing is automatic when consumers join or leave.

←
03

Consume

Consumers pull messages in order. Each message is locked to one consumer at a time. Failed messages retry with backoff, then route to the dead-letter queue.

Features

Built for real workloads.

Delivery

Exactly-once

Server-side deduplication using message fingerprints. Consumers acknowledge or reject. Unacknowledged messages redeliver after a visibility timeout.

Scaling

Consumer Groups

Partition messages across consumers for parallel processing. Rebalancing is automatic. Offsets are committed atomically.

Topology

Fan-out

Publish once, deliver to many. Topic subscriptions with glob-pattern matching let multiple services react independently.

Wire

RESP3 Protocol

Buzz speaks RESP3 natively. Connect with any Redis client library. No proprietary SDK required. Existing tooling works out of the box.
