This small service allows you to connect queues to Taskforce acting as a proxy between your queues and the UI. It is useful for connecting local development queues as well as production grade queues without the need of sharing passwords or establishing SSH tunnels.

Currently the connector supports Bull queues, with more to come in later releases.

The connector is designed to be lightweight and using a minimal set of resources from the local queues.

Using yarn

yarn global add taskforce-connector
