Queue-backed workers architecture
Accept work fast, process it out of band, and keep failures in a dead-letter queue instead of the logs.

What is in it
Every resource, and what it costs.
Projections from August 2026 list prices for always-on resources. Connect an account and these become the figures your provider actually bills.
| Node | Type | What it is | Projected |
|---|---|---|---|
| Submit endpoint | Network | 10M requests | $10/mo |
| Work queue | Messaging | 5M requests | $2.00/mo |
| Workers ×3 | Compute | 3 × 0.25 vCPU · 0.5 GB | $27/mo |
| Dead-letter queue | Messaging | low volume | $0.50/mo |
| RDS PostgreSQL | Database | db.t4g.large · single-AZ · 100 GB | $106/mo |
| Results | Storage | 100 GB standard | $3.00/mo |
Every figure is a projection from AWS list prices, before anything is built.
