Hapi v21 plugin that turns glide-mq queues into a REST API with real-time SSE. Works as a general-purpose job queue API and as an AI orchestration layer with built-in usage tracking, budget monitoring, flow orchestration over HTTP, streaming endpoints, queue-wide usage summaries, and broadcast pub/sub over HTTP.

• Zero route boilerplate - declare queues, get job CRUD, metrics, schedulers, and SSE endpoints
• Testable without Valkey - createTestApp builds an in-memory Hapi server for server.inject() assertions
• Joi validation - all request bodies and query params validated with structured error messages

npm install @glidemq/hapi glide-mq @hapi/hapi joi

Requires glide-mq >= 0.14.0 and Hapi 21+.

import Hapi from "@hapi/hapi";
import { glideMQPlugin } from "@glidemq/hapi";

const server = Hapi.server({ port: 3000 });

await server.register({
  plugin: glideMQPlugin,
  options: {
    connection: { addresses: [{ host: "localhost", port: 6379 }] },
    queues: {
      emails: {
        processor: async (job) => {
          await sendEmail(job.data.to, job.data.subject);
          return { sent: true };
        },
      },
    },
    routes: true, // mounts REST + SSE endpoints
  },
});

await server.start();
// POST /emails/jobs to enqueue, GET /emails/events for SSE

glideMQPlugin creates a registry on server.glidemq and optionally mounts routes. The onPostStop hook handles graceful shutdown.

glide-mq 0.14+ provides AI orchestration primitives - token/cost tracking, real-time streaming, human-in-the-loop suspend/signal, model failover chains, budget caps, dual-axis rate limiting, and vector search. This plugin exposes them as REST/SSE endpoints:

Job serialization includes AI fields when present: usage, signals, budgetKey, fallbackIndex, tpmTokens. SSE events include usage, suspended, and budget-exceeded event types. HTTP-submitted budgets are currently supported for tree flows only, not DAG payloads.

All AI features are also accessible programmatically via the server.glidemq registry. See the glide-mq docs for details.

interface GlideMQPluginOptions {
  connection?: ConnectionOptions; // Required unless testing: true
  queues?: Record<string, QueueConfig>;
  producers?: Record<string, ProducerConfig>;
  prefix?: string;    // Valkey key prefix (default: "glide")
  testing?: boolean;  // In-memory mode, no Valkey needed
  routes?: boolean | GlideMQRoutesOptions; // Mount REST + SSE endpoints
}

Route access control via GlideMQRoutesOptions:

await server.register({
  plugin: glideMQPlugin,
  options: {
    connection: { addresses: [{ host: "localhost", port: 6379 }] },
    queues: { emails: { processor: async (job) => ({ sent: true }) } },
    routes: {
      queues: ["emails"],    // restrict to specific queues
      producers: ["emails"], // restrict to specific producers
    },
  },
});

import { createTestApp } from "@glidemq/hapi/testing";

const { server } = await createTestApp({
  emails: { processor: async (job) => ({ sent: true }) },
});

const res = await server.inject({
  method: "POST",
  url: "/emails/jobs",
  payload: { name: "welcome", data: { to: "user@test.com" } },
});
// res.statusCode === 201

await server.stop();

• No built-in authentication. Add Hapi auth strategies or gateway-level controls separately.
• addAndWait (POST /{name}/jobs/wait) is not available in testing mode.
• /flows*, /usage/summary, and /broadcast/* require a live connection and are not available in testing mode.
• Producers are not supported in testing mode.
