Follow these steps to start monitoring your BullMQ queues with bullstudio.

​
Prerequisites

Before you begin, ensure you have:
  • A Redis instance with BullMQ queues
  • Network access to your Redis instance (must be publicly accessible)

​
Step 1: Create Your Account

1

Sign up

Go to app.bullstudio.dev and create an account using your email or GitHub.
2

Create an organization

After signing up, you’ll be prompted to create an organization. This is the top-level container for your workspaces and billing.

​
Step 2: Set Up a Workspace

Workspaces help you organize your Redis connections by environment (development, staging, production) or project.
1

Navigate to workspaces

From your organization dashboard, click Create Workspace.
2

Name your workspace

Enter a descriptive name like “Production” or “Development”. The slug will be auto-generated.
Use separate workspaces for each environment to keep your connections organized and prevent accidental operations on production queues.

​
Step 3: Connect to Redis

Connect bullstudio to your publicly accessible Redis instance:
1

Navigate to Connections

Go to Connections in your workspace sidebar.
2

Add a new connection

Click Add Connection and select Direct Redis.
3

Enter connection details

Fill in your Redis connection information:
  • Host: Your Redis hostname (e.g., redis.example.com)
  • Port: Redis port (default: 6379)
  • Password: Your Redis password (if required)
  • TLS: Enable for secure connections (recommended)
4

Test and save

Click Test Connection to verify, then click Save.
Always use TLS when connecting to Redis over the public internet.

​
Step 4: View Your Queues

Once connected, bullstudio automatically discovers your BullMQ queues.
1

Open the Dashboard

Select your connection from the dropdown to see queue metrics.
2

Browse Jobs

Navigate to Jobs to view and filter jobs by status, queue, and name.
3

Set Up Alerts (Pro)

Go to Alerts to configure notifications for queue issues.
