Global Concurrency

Source URL: https://docs.bullmq.io/guide/queues/global-concurrency

The global concurrency factor is a queue option that determines how many jobs are allowed to be processed in parallel across all your worker instances.

import { Queue } from 'bullmq';
await queue.setGlobalConcurrency(4);

And in order to get this value:

const globalConcurrency = await queue.getGlobalConcurrency();

{% hint style=“info” %} Note that if you choose a concurrency level in your workers, it will not override the global one, it will just be the maximum jobs a given worker can process in parallel but never more than the global one. {% endhint %}

It can be done using the following method:

await queue.removeGlobalConcurrency();
