Set Queue Priority for Workflows HIGH Prioritizes important workflows over lower-priority ones queue, priority, ordering, importance

Set Queue Priority for Workflows

Enable priority on a queue to process higher-priority workflows first. Lower numbers indicate higher priority.

Incorrect (no priority - FIFO only):

queue := dbos.NewWorkflowQueue(ctx, "tasks")
// All tasks processed in FIFO order regardless of importance

Correct (priority-enabled queue):

queue := dbos.NewWorkflowQueue(ctx, "tasks",
	dbos.WithPriorityEnabled(),
)

// High priority task (lower number = higher priority)
dbos.RunWorkflow(ctx, processTask, "urgent-task",
	dbos.WithQueue(queue.Name),
	dbos.WithPriority(1),
)

// Low priority task
dbos.RunWorkflow(ctx, processTask, "background-task",
	dbos.WithQueue(queue.Name),
	dbos.WithPriority(100),
)

Priority rules:

  • Range: 1 to 2,147,483,647
  • Lower number = higher priority
  • Workflows without assigned priorities have the highest priority (run first)
  • Workflows with the same priority are dequeued in FIFO order
