[Question]: common setup for jobs that take long

My use-case is that my jobs take around 30 seconds each, and they are very CPU intensive so I only wish to run one per time.

What’s the common setup for this type of scenario ? I’ve tried something akin to the below but it doesn’t appear optimal since the queue will run about 5-10 items in the queue, then get stuck for about 5 minutes in-between.

      let last = Date.now();

      this.consumer.on('data', async (message) => {

          try {
              const res = JSON.parse(message.value);
              console.log(res);
              await new Promise((resolve) => {
                  setTimeout(() => {

                      return resolve();
                  }, 30000);
              });
              this.consumer.consume(1);
              last = Date.now();
          } catch (e) {
              console.log(e);
              this.consumer.consume(1);
              last = Date.now();
          }
      });

      setInterval(() => {

          if (Date.now() - last > 10000) {
              this.consumer.consume(1);
          }
      }, 60000);

going to close for now. I’m using one of the solutions above

I haven’t played with it enough yet to know. I think the other issue may be better after the connection has been active for quite some time. Still exploring.
