How can I create a queue with multiple workers?

Question

I want to create a queue where clients can put in requests, then server worker threads can pull them out as they have resources available.

I\'m exploring how I could do

Answer 1

This question is pretty old but in case someone makes it here anyway...

Since mid 2015 Firebase offers something called the Firebase Queue, a fault-tolerant multi-worker job pipeline built on Firebase.

Q: Is this a good design that will integrate well into the upcoming security plans?

A: Your design suggestion fits perfectly with Firebase Queue.

Q: How do I get all the servers to listen to the queue, but only one to pick up each request?

A: Well, that is pretty much what Firebase Queue does for you!
