  title: QStash Dead Letter Queue Flow Control API
  description: QStash is a serverless message queue and task scheduling REST API from Upstash that delivers HTTP messages to endpoints reliably without requiring any long-lived connections or infrastructure management. Built entirely on stateless HTTP requests, it is designed for serverless and edge runtimes where traditional message brokers are impractical. QStash supports automatic retries, CRON-based scheduling up to one year in advance, URL group broadcasting for fan-out delivery, FIFO queuing, dead-letter queues, and message deduplication.
