Queues, Cloudflare’s managed message queue, now exposes realtime backlog metrics via the dashboard, REST API, and JavaScript API. Three new fields are available:
backlog_count— the number of unacknowledged messages in the queuebacklog_bytes— the total size of those messages in bytesoldest_message_timestamp_ms— the timestamp of the oldest unacknowledged message
The following endpoints also now include a metadata.metrics object on the result field after successful message consumption:
/accounts/{account_id}/queues/{queue_id}/messages/pull/accounts/{account_id}/queues/{queue_id}/messages/accounts/{account_id}/queues/{queue_id}/messages/batch
Javascript APIs
Call env.QUEUE.metrics() to get realtime backlog metrics:
const { backlogCount, // number backlogBytes, // number oldestMessageTimestamp, // Date | undefined} = await env.QUEUE.metrics();env.QUEUE.send() and env.QUEUE.sendBatch() also now return a metrics object on the response.
You can also query these fields via the GraphQL Analytics API or view realtime backlog on the dashboard.
For more information, refer to Queues metrics.
