Description

Sorry I'm new to kue.

Since kue is singleton instance in a node progress, and all jobs in one queue.

suppose I have two types of jobs:`sms` and `email`

if a large amount of `sms` jobs is processing, then will`email` jobs waiting, or different types of jobs consumed by their own consumers and won't block each other ?

or should I use pm2 to start multiple kue instance to handle this situation?

Research direction

No file, test, or entry point is named. Start by tracing Kue's worker and consumer handling for different job types, then document whether one type can block another and whether separate processes are needed.
