Constant Summary collapse

NUMBER_OF_MESSAGES_TO_PREFETCH =

Only fetch one message at a time on the channel.

By default, queues will grab messages eagerly, which reduces latency. However, that also means that if multiple workers are running one worker can starve another of work. We’re not expecting a high throughput on this queue, and a small bit of latency isn’t a problem, so we fetch one at a time to share the work evenly.
