# Queues Queues are recipients of jobs (also called messages in other systems), a BullMQ Proxy can contain any number of queues, all sharing the same Redis instance. For practical purposes, the number of queues should be kept low, even though they are lightweight and do not consume CPU if they are not being used. Queues can be found on the `/queues` endpoint. There are a number of operations that are provided in this endpoint which we will cover in the next sub pages. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question. Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter: ``` GET https://docs.bullmq.net/http-api/queues.md?ask= ``` The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
