📊 Data Flow Example: Retry Failed Job
User clicks "Retry" button on failed job
↓
QueueJobsList.tsx → calls onRetry(jobId)
↓
QueueMonitoringPage.tsx → handleRetry(jobId)
↓
communicationQueueService.retryJob(token, businessId, jobId)
↓
HTTP POST /businesses/:businessId/communication-queue/:jobId/retry
↓
CommunicationQueueController.retryJob()
↓
CommunicationQueueService.retryJob(jobId)
↓
Validates job status (must be "failed" or "cancelled")
↓
CommunicationQueueRepository.update(id, { status: "pending", attempts: 0 })
↓
UPDATE communication_queue SET status='pending', attempts=0 WHERE id=...
↓
Job now pending, will be picked up by cron processor
↓
Response bubbles back up the chain
↓
Frontend shows toast: "Job queued for retry"
↓
Stats and jobs list auto-refresh after 1 second
↓
User sees updated status ✅

🔔 Alert System
Alert Triggers
// Pending backlog alert
if (stats.pending > 100) {
Show yellow alert: "Queue backlog warning"
}
// High failure rate alert
if (stats.failed > 10) {
Show yellow alert: "High failure rate"
}
// Critical failure alert
if (stats.failed > 20) {
Show RED alert: "Critical - Immediate attention needed"
}
// Processing bottleneck
if (stats.processing > 20) {
Show warning: "High processing count"
}
Visual Indicators
- 🟢 Green - System healthy
- 🟡 Yellow - Warning (action recommended)
- 🔴 Red - Critical (immediate action needed)
📱 Responsive Breakpoints
/* Mobile First Approach */
/* Small phones (< 640px) */
- Stack stats 2 columns
- Card view for jobs
- Full-width buttons
/* Tablets (640px - 1024px) */
- Stats: 2-3 columns
- Switch to table view
- Compact buttons
/* Desktop (1024px - 1280px) */
- Stats: 4 columns
- Full table view
- All features visible
/* Large screens (> 1280px) */
- Stats: 6 columns (1 row)
- Wide table
- Optimal spacing
⚡ Performance Features
Optimization Strategies
-
Auto-refresh Throttling
// Stats refresh: Every 30 seconds (configurable)
// Jobs refresh: On-demand + after actions
// Prevents API spam -
Conditional Rendering
// Only render modal when open
{isModalOpen && <QueueJobDetailsModal />} -
Client-Side Filtering
// Filter jobs in browser (no API call)
jobs.filter(j => j.status === filterStatus) -
Memoization
// useCallback for stable function references
const fetchJobs = useCallback(async () => {...}, [deps]); -
Loading Skeletons
// Instant UI feedback
// No content jump when data loads
🎯 User Actions Matrix
| Job Status | View | Retry | Cancel | Delete |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Pending | ✅ | ❌ | ✅ | ✅ (admin) |
| Processing | ✅ | ❌ | ✅ | ❌ |
| Completed | ✅ | ❌ | ❌ | ✅ (admin) |
| Failed | ✅ | ✅ | ❌ | ✅ (admin) |
| Cancelled | ✅ | ✅ | ❌ | ✅ (admin) |
Logic:
- View: Always available
- Retry: Only for failed/cancelled
- Cancel: Only for pending/processing
- Delete: Admin only, any status
🔄 State Management Flow
Initial Load:
useQueueStats() → Fetches stats → Updates state
useQueueJobs() → Fetches jobs → Updates state
↓
UI renders with data
Auto-Refresh (Every 30s):
Timer triggers → useQueueStats() → Fetch stats → Update UI
(Jobs don't auto-refresh to avoid disrupting user viewing)
User Action (Retry):
User clicks Retry
↓
handleRetry() → API call → Success
↓
Toast notification
↓
setTimeout(1s) → Trigger refetch
↓
Stats + Jobs refresh
↓
UI shows updated data
User Action (Cancel):
User clicks Cancel
↓
Confirmation dialog
↓
handleCancel() → API call → Success
↓
Toast notification
↓
Local state update (optimistic)
↓
setTimeout(1s) → Trigger refetch
↓
UI confirms cancellation
