The JobQueue Class

This is the main entry point. It extends EventEmitter so consumers can listen for lifecycle events. The storage adapter pattern lets it work with any backend.

The StackDive Method

Learn codebases the way senior engineers do

Not lectures. Not docs. A guided, interactive journey through real code -- the same way you would learn on the job, but structured and faster.

01

Browse the Repository

Start with a visual file tree of the entire project. See how the codebase is organized, understand folder structures, and get oriented before reading a single line of code.

Explorer
src/
queue.ts
worker.ts
storage/
memory.ts
redis.ts
types.ts
tests/
queue.test.ts
02

Follow Guided Code Tours

Step-by-step walkthroughs spotlight the exact lines that matter. Annotations explain the why, not just the what. Navigate between files as the tour connects the dots across the architecture.

Guided Tour
async enqueue(job) {
const id = uuid()
await this.storage.save(id, job)
this.emit('enqueued', id)
}
03

Ask the AI Tutor

When something is unclear, ask. The AI tutor has full context of the codebase and can highlight code to show you exactly what it means. It is like pair programming with a senior engineer.

Why does enqueue use an adapter pattern?

The adapter pattern decouples the queue logic from the storage backend. This lets you swap Redis for SQLite without changing any queue code...

04

Practice with Real Code

Hands-on coding exercises let you modify, extend, and test real project code. Build a storage adapter, fix a bug, or implement a feature -- then run the test suite to verify your work.

Coding Exercise
3/3 tests passing
class SQLiteStorage implements StorageAdapter {
async save(id, data) {
await this.db.run(
'INSERT INTO jobs VALUES (?, ?)',
[id, JSON.stringify(data)]
}
}

Built for how developers actually learn

Every feature is designed around one goal: helping you understand real codebases faster than reading docs or watching videos.

IDE-Like Code Viewer

Syntax highlighted, multi-file navigation with tab management -- feels like your own editor, but with guided annotations.

Version-Tracked Content

Walkthroughs are pinned to specific commits. When a repo updates, content stays accurate -- no broken references.

AI-Powered Understanding

Ask questions mid-tour and the AI tutor highlights the exact code to answer you. Full codebase context, zero hallucination.

Hands-On Exercises

Write, run, and test real code in the browser. Multi-file projects with live test suites -- not toy examples.
