Summary

Cloudflare has announced new debugging workflow features for its Cloudflare Queues service, allowing users to send, list, and acknowledge messages directly from the dashboard. This makes it easier for customers using asynchronous systems to examine a queue's state and test information flow through it. Users can now preview messages without affecting their number of retries or interfering with an existing connected consumer. An HTTP API to pull batches of messages from a queue is also coming soon, utilizing the same infrastructure as message previews in the dashboard. These debugging features have already proven valuable for testing example applications built on Cloudflare Queues and are now available for all customers.
