Low latencies & Real-time

Quickwork is designed to be ultra-real-time, offering latencies below 15ms for processing transactions end-to-end, excluding third-party response times. Quickwork provides customers with the ability to configure various parameters per workflow to ensure minimal latencies, especially for synchronous request-reply patterns achieved through API Management, where delays are not acceptable.

Event Triggers & Near Real-Time Polling

Quickwork supports near-real-time polling, enabling triggers with the polling mechanism to activate every minute or continuously without delay if there are more messages to be polled from the previous cycle.

Concurrency Controls

Enable provisioned concurrency to maintain a fixed level of simultaneous request handling for this process or operation. This ensures consistent performance by keeping a steady pool of ready-to-serve instances, allowing the system to handle predictable traffic loads reliably. It also helps regulate throughput to downstream systems, preventing overload by capping the rate of concurrent executions.

Observability & Performance Telemetry

Built-in monitoring dashboards provides the ability to track per-transaction latencies, detect performance regressions caused by one or more steps in your workflow and identify slow executions end-to-end with detailed traces.

Queueing & Prioritization

Quickwork’s internal job queues automatically prioritize real-time requests over batch jobs, and synchronous executions over asynchronous ones. This ensures that time-sensitive transactions are completed promptly, while less critical tasks are queued to avoid contention.
