Vercel Queues is a message queue service built for Vercel applications, in Limited Beta.

Vercel Queues lets you offload work by sending tasks to a queue, where they’ll be processed in the background. This means users don’t have to wait for slow operations to finish during a request, and your app can handle retries and failures more reliably.

Under the hood, Vercel Queues uses an append-only log to store messages and ensures tasks such as AI video processing, sending emails, or updating external services are persisted and never lost.

Key features of Vercel Queues:

Pub/Sub pattern: Topic-based messaging allowing for multiple consumer groups

Streaming support : Handle payloads without loading them entirely into memory

Streamlined auth : Automatic authentication via OIDC tokens

SDK : TypeScript SDK with full type safety
