Debug Queues from the dash: send, list, and ack messages
Aug 11, 2023Emilie Ma

Summary
Introduced new debugging features for Cloudflare Queues within the dashboard: the ability to send messages directly to a queue, list queued messages with detailed metadata (body, timestamp, retries, source, type), and acknowledge (remove) messages. These features simplify testing and debugging of asynchronous message flows without requiring a consumer worker. The 'peek' functionality for listing messages does not affect message retry counts or queue state, unlike some other messaging systems. An HTTP Pull/Ack API is planned to leverage the same underlying infrastructure.
