qml

A production-ready Rust implementation of QML background job processing, designed for high-performance, reliability, and scalability.

🚀 Status: Production Ready ✅

qml is a complete, enterprise-grade background job processing system with:

• 3 Storage Backends: Memory, Redis, PostgreSQL with full ACID compliance
• Multi-threaded Processing: Worker pools with configurable concurrency
• Web Dashboard: Real-time monitoring with WebSocket updates
• Race Condition Prevention: Comprehensive locking across all backends
• 45+ Tests: Including stress tests with 100 jobs + 20 workers
• Zero Build Warnings: Clean, production-ready codebase

📦 Installation

Add to your Cargo.toml:

[dependencies]
qml-rs = "2.0"

# Enable PostgreSQL support
qml-rs = { version = "2.0", features = ["postgres"] }

# Or pull the kitchen sink (postgres + redis + dashboard + metrics):
qml-rs = { version = "2.0", features = ["postgres", "redis", "dashboard", "metrics"] }

Upgrading from 1.x? See CHANGELOG.md — 2.0 includes critical correctness fixes that warranted a major bump, plus a Storage trait split. The migration is small for most call sites (drop redundant Arc::new(StorageInstance::*) wraps; add use qml_rs::storage::prelude::* where you call Storage methods on a dyn value). Custom backends need to split their impl Storage for X into five sub-trait impls.

🔧 Complete Feature Set

Storage Backends

• MemoryStorage: Thread-safe in-memory storage for development/testing
• RedisStorage: Scalable Redis backend with Lua script atomicity
• PostgresStorage: ACID-compliant PostgreSQL with SELECT FOR UPDATE locking

Job Processing Engine

• Multi-threaded Workers: Configurable worker pools with automatic job fetching
• Retry Logic: Exponential backoff with customizable retry policies
• Job Scheduling: Schedule jobs for future execution
• Queue Management: Priority-based job queues with filtering

Job States & Lifecycle

• Enqueued → Processing → Succeeded | Failed
• Scheduled → Enqueued (time-based activation)
• AwaitingRetry → Enqueued (retry logic)
• Deleted (soft deletion with audit trail)

Recurring Jobs

• Cron-scheduled templates via BackgroundJobServer::schedule_recurring
• RecurringJobPoller materializes due templates into normal jobs
• Claim-and-park locking prevents multi-server duplicate firings
• Templates persist in a dedicated table/keyspace across restarts

Automatic Expiration

• Succeeded and permanently-Failed jobs are stamped with expires_at
• CleanupWorker sweeps expired rows out-of-band (default every minute)
• Configurable TTLs: succeeded_ttl (default 24h), failed_ttl (default 7d)

Race Condition Prevention

• PostgreSQL: SELECT FOR UPDATE SKIP LOCKED with dedicated lock table
• Redis: Atomic Lua scripts with distributed locking and expiration
• Memory: Mutex-based locking with automatic cleanup

Dashboard & Monitoring

• Web UI: Real-time job statistics and status monitoring
• WebSocket Updates: Live dashboard updates without polling

• Zero-Config Setup: Databases initialize automatically even when empty
• Migration Best Practices: Production-ready patterns with manual control options
• Connection Pooling: Configurable connection pools for all backends
• Comprehensive Config: Fine-tuned settings for production deployment
• Error Handling: Detailed error types with proper error propagation

🚀 Quick Start

Basic Job Processing

use qml_rs::{
    BackgroundJobServer, Job, MemoryStorage, QmlError, ServerConfig, Storage,
    TypedWorker, WorkerContext, WorkerRegistry, WorkerResult,
};
use async_trait::async_trait;
use serde::{Deserialize, Serialize};
use std::sync::Arc;

#[derive(Serialize, Deserialize)]
struct EmailArgs {
    to: String,
    subject: String,
}

struct EmailWorker;

#[async_trait]
impl TypedWorker for EmailWorker {
    type Args = EmailArgs;

    async fn execute(
        &self,
        args: EmailArgs,
        _ctx: &WorkerContext,
    ) -> Result<WorkerResult, QmlError> {
        println!("sending `{}` to {}", args.subject, args.to);
        Ok(WorkerResult::success(None, 0))
    }

    fn method_name(&self) -> &str {
        "send_email"
    }
}

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
    let storage = Arc::new(MemoryStorage::new());

    let mut registry = WorkerRegistry::new();
    registry.register_typed(EmailWorker);

    // Enqueue a job with a typed payload.
    let job = Job::new(
        "send_email",
        serde_json::json!({ "to": "user@example.com", "subject": "hi" }),
    );
    storage.enqueue(&job).await?;

    // Start the server. Recurring + cleanup workers are on by default.
    let config = ServerConfig::new("server-1").worker_count(4);
    let server = BackgroundJobServer::new(config, storage, Arc::new(registry));
    server.start().await?;

    tokio::signal::ctrl_c().await?;
    server.stop().await?;
    Ok(())
}

Recurring Jobs

use chrono::Duration;
use qml_rs::{BackgroundJobServer, MemoryStorage, ServerConfig, WorkerRegistry};
use std::sync::Arc;

# async fn example() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
let storage = Arc::new(MemoryStorage::new());
let registry = Arc::new(WorkerRegistry::new()); // register your workers

let config = ServerConfig::new("server-1")
    .recurring_poll_interval(Duration::seconds(5)); // how often to check for due templates
let server = BackgroundJobServer::new(config, storage, registry);

// Cron expression is the cron crate's 6-field format: sec min hour day month dow
server
    .schedule_recurring(
        "daily-report",
        "0 0 9 * * *",
        "generate_report",
        serde_json::json!({ "kind": "daily" }),
        "default",
    )
    .await?;

server.start().await?;
// ...
server.remove_recurring("daily-report").await?;
# Ok(())
# }

Templates are persisted by the storage backend, so schedule_recurring survives restarts and is shared between servers that point at the same storage. The poller uses a claim-and-park discipline so two servers running against one backend won't fire the same tick twice.

Automatic Expiration

Final-state jobs (Succeeded and permanently-Failed) get expires_at stamped by JobProcessor. A background CleanupWorker deletes expired rows on a fixed interval, so the hot enqueue path stays O(1) and the job table stops growing unboundedly.

use chrono::Duration;
use qml_rs::ServerConfig;

let config = ServerConfig::new("server-1")
    .succeeded_ttl(Duration::hours(24))   // default
    .failed_ttl(Duration::days(7))        // default
    .cleanup_interval(Duration::minutes(1)); // default sweep cadence

Both enable_recurring and enable_cleanup default to true; set them to false if you want to run the poller/worker out-of-process or disable the feature entirely.

PostgreSQL Setup

use qml_rs::{PostgresConfig, PostgresStorage, StorageInstance};

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
    // Configure PostgreSQL storage
    let config = PostgresConfig::new()
        .with_database_url("postgresql://postgres:password@localhost:5432/qml")
        .with_auto_migrate(true)
        .with_max_connections(10);

    // Create storage instance
    let storage = StorageInstance::postgres(config).await?;

    // Storage is ready for production use
    println!("PostgreSQL storage initialized with migrations!");

    Ok(())
}

Redis Cluster Setup

use qml_rs::{RedisConfig, RedisStorage, StorageInstance};
use std::time::Duration;

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
    // Configure Redis storage
    let config = RedisConfig::new()
        .with_url("redis://localhost:6379")
        .with_pool_size(20)
        .with_command_timeout(Duration::from_secs(5))
        .with_key_prefix("myapp:jobs");

    // Create storage instance
    let storage = StorageInstance::redis(config).await?;

    println!("Redis storage ready for distributed processing!");

    Ok(())
}

Multi-Backend Production Example

use qml_rs::{
    BackgroundJobServer, DashboardConfig, DashboardServer, PostgresConfig,
    ServerConfig, StorageInstance, WorkerRegistry,
};
use std::sync::Arc;

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error + Send + Sync>> {
    // Production PostgreSQL setup
    let storage_config = PostgresConfig::new()
        .with_database_url(std::env::var("DATABASE_URL")?)
        .with_auto_migrate(true)
        .with_max_connections(50)
        .with_min_connections(5);

    // `StorageInstance::postgres` returns `Arc<dyn Storage>` directly
    // — no outer `Arc::new` wrap.
    let storage = StorageInstance::postgres(storage_config).await?;

    // Setup workers and server
    let registry = Arc::new(setup_worker_registry());
    let server_config = ServerConfig::new("production-server")
        .worker_count(20)
        .queues(vec!["critical".into(), "normal".into(), "bulk".into()]);

    // BackgroundJobServer::new takes (config, storage, registry).
    let job_server = BackgroundJobServer::new(server_config, storage.clone(), registry);

    // DashboardServer takes (storage, config). The address lives on
    // DashboardConfig; bind to 0.0.0.0 explicitly when exposing the
    // dashboard outside loopback (DashboardConfig::auth must be set
    // when binding to a non-loopback host).
    let dashboard_config = DashboardConfig {
        host: "0.0.0.0".to_string(),
        port: 8080,
        ..Default::default()
    };
    let dashboard = DashboardServer::new(storage.clone(), dashboard_config);

    // Start both servers
    tokio::try_join!(job_server.start(), dashboard.start())?;

    Ok(())
}

fn setup_worker_registry() -> WorkerRegistry {
    let mut registry = WorkerRegistry::new();
    // Register your workers here
    registry
}

🗄️ Automated Database Migration

QML provides comprehensive automated migration support for PostgreSQL with zero-configuration setup and production-ready patterns.

Zero-Configuration Setup

use qml_rs::{PostgresConfig, PostgresStorage};

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
    // Just provide a database URL - migrations run automatically!
    let storage = PostgresStorage::new(
        PostgresConfig::new()
            .with_database_url("postgresql://user:pass@localhost/db")
            .with_auto_migrate(true)  // Default: enabled
    ).await?;

    println!("Database ready with schema!");
    Ok(())
}

Migration Strategies

Development Pattern (Recommended for local dev)

// Auto-migrate everything on startup
let config = PostgresConfig::new()
    .with_database_url(database_url)
    .with_auto_migrate(true);        // Enabled by default

let storage = PostgresStorage::new(config).await?; // Migrations run automatically

Production Pattern (Recommended for production)

// Manual migration control for production safety
let config = PostgresConfig::new()
    .with_database_url(database_url)
    .with_auto_migrate(false);       // Disable auto-migration

let storage = PostgresStorage::new(config).await?;

// Run migrations explicitly when ready
storage.migrate().await?;

Testing Pattern (Minimal resources)

// Fast setup for tests with automatic cleanup
let config = PostgresConfig::new()
    .with_database_url(test_database_url)
    .with_auto_migrate(true)
    .with_max_connections(2)        // Minimal resources
    .with_min_connections(1);

let storage = PostgresStorage::new(config).await?;

Smart Migration Detection

The library automatically detects when migrations are needed:

// Check if schema exists before operations
if !storage.schema_exists().await? {
    println!("Schema not found, migrations needed");
    storage.migrate().await?;
}

// Only run migrations if actually needed
let migration_needed = storage.migrate_if_needed().await?;
if migration_needed {
    println!("Migrations were applied");
} else {
    println!("Schema already up to date");
}

Error Recovery & Health Checks

use qml_rs::{PostgresStorage, StorageError, PostgresConfig};

async fn robust_initialization(database_url: String) -> Result<PostgresStorage, Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
    let config = PostgresConfig::new()
        .with_database_url(database_url)
        .with_auto_migrate(true);

    match PostgresStorage::new(config).await {
        Ok(storage) => {
            // Verify schema after initialization
            if storage.schema_exists().await? {
                Ok(storage)
            } else {
                // Force migration if schema still missing
                storage.migrate().await?;
                Ok(storage)
            }
        }
        Err(StorageError::MigrationError { message }) => {
            eprintln!("Migration failed: {}", message);
            Err("Database initialization failed".into())
        }
        Err(e) => Err(Box::new(e)),
    }
}

Migration Files Structure

QML now uses an embedded schema approach - no external migration files needed!

The complete PostgreSQL schema is embedded directly in the binary as install.sql and only requires the postgres feature to be enabled:

// Schema installation happens automatically or manually
let storage = PostgresStorage::new(
    PostgresConfig::new()
        .with_database_url(database_url)
        .with_auto_migrate(true)  // Installs embedded schema automatically
).await?;

Embedded Schema Features

The embedded install.sql includes everything needed for production:

• Complete job table with all columns, constraints, and documentation
• Performance indexes for efficient job processing and querying
• Distributed job locking functions for multi-worker environments
• Automatic triggers for timestamp management
• Job state enums for type safety
• Comprehensive comments for all tables, columns, and functions

Key Advantages

• ✅ No external files to manage or deploy
• ✅ Always in sync with code version
• ✅ Simplified deployments - just enable postgres feature
• ✅ Feature-gated - only compiles when needed
• ✅ Production-ready with all optimizations included

Configuration Options

Environment Variables

# Database configuration
export DATABASE_URL="postgresql://user:pass@localhost:5432/qml"
export QML_MAX_CONNECTIONS="20"
export QML_MIN_CONNECTIONS="2"
export QML_AUTO_MIGRATE="true"  # Enable embedded schema auto-installation

Programmatic Configuration

let config = PostgresConfig::new()
    .with_database_url(database_url)
    .with_auto_migrate(true)        // Enable embedded schema installation
    .with_max_connections(20)
    .with_min_connections(2)
    .with_connect_timeout(Duration::from_secs(10))
    .with_command_timeout(Duration::from_secs(30))
    .with_schema_name("qml")
    .with_table_name("qml_jobs");

Production Deployment Checklist

Before Deployment

• Postgres feature is enabled in Cargo.toml: features = ["postgres"]
• Database user has schema creation permissions
• Connection limits are appropriate for load
• Timeouts are configured for network conditions
• Auto-migration setting matches environment (dev vs prod)

Manual Installation (Recommended for Production)

// Deploy with auto_migrate=false for production safety
let config = PostgresConfig::new()
    .with_auto_migrate(false);

// Install embedded schema manually during deployment
let storage = PostgresStorage::new(config).await?;
storage.migrate().await?;  // Installs complete embedded schema

Health Checks

async fn health_check(storage: &PostgresStorage) -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
    // Check schema exists
    if !storage.schema_exists().await? {
        return Err("Schema missing".into());
    }

    // Test basic operation
    storage.get_job_count("default").await?;
    Ok(())
}

Advanced Migration Patterns

Conditional Migration

// Only migrate if specific conditions are met
let should_migrate = !storage.schema_exists().await? ||
                    std::env::var("FORCE_MIGRATION").is_ok();

if should_migrate {
    storage.migrate().await?;
}

Migration Monitoring & Logging

use tracing::{info, warn, error};

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
    // Enable detailed migration logging
    tracing_subscriber::fmt::init();

    let storage = PostgresStorage::new(config).await?;
    // Migration logs will be automatically emitted

    Ok(())
}

🔒 Security & Production Notes

Development Credentials Warning

⚠️ IMPORTANT: This library includes placeholder development credentials in src/storage/settings.rs for testing and examples. These are clearly marked as development-only and should NEVER be used in production:

• dev_password_change_me - Development PostgreSQL password placeholder
• Development environment defaults for local testing only
• Sample configuration values for documentation

Production Deployment

1. Always set proper environment variables (see .env.example)
2. Use strong, unique passwords and secrets
3. Configure proper database access controls
4. Enable TLS/SSL for database connections
5. Regularly rotate secrets and credentials

The library follows security best practices and is safe for public repositories when proper production configuration is used.
