# Workers pattern consolidation

# Workers Pattern Consolidation - Complete Reference

## Overview

This document describes the pattern consolidation refactorings applied to the hoox-setup workers monorepo. These changes eliminate code duplication and establish standardized patterns for common worker patterns including queue handling, cron scheduling, and exchange client implementations.

**Status:** ✅ Production-Ready\
**Last Updated:** June 4, 2026\
**Version:** 1.0

***

## What Changed

### 1. Queue Handler Factory ✅

**Location:** `packages/shared/src/queue-handler.ts`

**What:** A reusable factory for handling CloudFlare Queues with retry logic and exponential backoff.

**Before:** Each queue-based worker had inline retry/backoff logic (60+ lines per worker)

**After:** Single factory used across all workers (30 lines per worker)

**Code Reduction:**

* `trade-worker`: 61 lines → 30 lines (51% reduction)
* Consistent retry behavior across all queue-based workers

**Usage Example:**

```typescript theme={null}
import { createQueueHandler } from "@jango-blockchained/hoox-shared/queue-handler";

export default {
  async queue(batch, env, ctx) {
    const handler = createQueueHandler({
      maxRetries: 5,
      backoffDelays: [0, 30, 60, 300, 900],
      logger,
      onMessage: async (message, attemptNumber) => {
        // Your message processing logic
        const result = await processMessage(message, env, ctx);
        if (!result.success) throw new Error(result.error);
      },
      onRetry: (_message, _attemptNumber, _error, _delaySeconds) => {
        // Logging is handled by createQueueHandler internally
      },
      onDLQ: async (message, attemptNumber, error) => {
        // Handle dead-lettering
        await logFailedMessage(message, error);
      },
    });

    return await handler(batch);
  },
};
```

**Key Features:**

* ✅ Generic message type support (`<T>`)
* ✅ Exponential backoff with configurable delays
* ✅ Automatic retry logic with attempt tracking
* ✅ Dead-letter queue (DLQ) handling
* ✅ Built-in logging with optional logger
* ✅ Type-safe with TypeScript

**Benefits:**

* ✅ Reduced code duplication (51% reduction in trade-worker)
* ✅ Consistent retry behavior across workers
* ✅ Type-safe with generic message types
* ✅ Built-in logging with `logger` option
* ✅ Easier to test and maintain

**Updated Workers:**

* `workers/trade-worker` - Uses factory for queue message handling

***

### 2. Cron Handler ✅

**Location:** `packages/shared/src/cron-handler.ts`

**What:** Standardized handler for scheduled/cron-triggered workers with consistent logging and error handling.

**Before:** Custom logging in each scheduled worker, inconsistent patterns

**After:** Standardized logging with automatic duration measurement

**Usage Example:**

```typescript theme={null}
import { createCronHandler } from "@jango-blockchained/hoox-shared/cron-handler";

export default {
  async scheduled(event, env, ctx) {
    const handler = createCronHandler({
      name: "my-worker",
      logger,
      handler: async (event, env, ctx) => {
        // Your cron logic here
        await runCronTask(env, ctx);
      },
    });

    return await handler(event, env, ctx);
  },
};
```

**Logging Output:**

```
my-worker cron triggered { cron: "0 * * * *", scheduledTime: 1234567890 }
my-worker cron handler completed successfully { cron: "0 * * * *", durationMs: 145 }
```

**Error Logging:**

```
my-worker cron handler failed { cron: "0 * * * *", durationMs: 245, error: "Task failed" }
```

**Key Features:**

* ✅ Automatic execution time measurement
* ✅ Structured logging with event details
* ✅ Consistent error handling and logging
* ✅ Generic environment type support (`<Env>`)
* ✅ Optional logger instance

**Benefits:**

* ✅ Consistent logging across all scheduled workers
* ✅ Automatic duration measurement
* ✅ Structured error logging with context
* ✅ Cleaner handler code
* ✅ Easier debugging with standardized logs

**Updated Workers:**

* `workers/agent-worker` - Uses factory for 5-minute cron routine
* `workers/report-worker` - Uses factory for report generation cron

***

### 3. Exchange Client Base Class ✅

**Location:** `packages/shared/src/exchanges/`

**What:** Abstract base class for exchange implementations (Binance, Bybit, MEXC) with common functionality.

**Files:**

* `base-exchange-client.ts` - Abstract class with 6 abstract methods
* `types.ts` - TypeScript types for exchanges
* `index.ts` - Barrel exports

**Before:** Base class duplicated in trade-worker, no shared interface

**After:** Single shared base class in packages/shared with consistent interface

**Usage Example:**

```typescript theme={null}
import { BaseExchangeClient } from "@jango-blockchained/hoox-shared/exchanges";
import type {
  TradeParams,
  OrderResponse,
} from "@jango-blockchained/hoox-shared/exchanges";

export class BinanceClient extends BaseExchangeClient {
  async validateApiCredentials(): Promise<boolean> {
    // Implementation
    const response = await this.makeRequest("GET", "/api/v3/account");
    return !!response.balances;
  }

  async executeTrade(params: TradeParams): Promise<OrderResponse> {
    // Implementation
    const response = await this.makeRequest("POST", "/api/v3/order", {
      symbol: params.symbol,
      side: params.side,
      quantity: params.quantity,
      price: params.price,
    });
    return response;
  }

  async getMarkPrice(symbol: string): Promise<number> {
    // Implementation
  }

  async getOpenPositions(symbol?: string): Promise<Position[]> {
    // Implementation
  }

  async closePosition(
    symbol: string,
    positionId?: string
  ): Promise<OrderResponse> {
    // Implementation
  }

  async getWalletBalance(): Promise<number> {
    // Implementation
  }
}
```

**Abstract Methods:**

* `validateApiCredentials(): Promise<boolean>` - Verify API credentials are valid
* `executeTrade(params: TradeParams): Promise<OrderResponse>` - Execute a trade
* `getMarkPrice(symbol: string): Promise<number>` - Get current mark price
* `getOpenPositions(symbol?: string): Promise<Position[]>` - Get open positions
* `closePosition(symbol: string, positionId?: string): Promise<OrderResponse>` - Close a position
* `getWalletBalance(): Promise<number>` - Get wallet balance

**Protected Helper Methods:**

* `makeRequest(method: string, path: string, data?: any): Promise<any>` - Make HTTP request (subclass implements)
* `getErrorMessagePrefix(): string` - Get error message prefix for logging

**Key Features:**

* ✅ Type-safe configuration and responses
* ✅ Consistent interface across exchanges
* ✅ Helper methods for common operations
* ✅ Crypto signature support (HMAC-SHA256)
* ✅ Testnet/sandbox support

**Benefits:**

* ✅ Consistent interface for all exchange implementations
* ✅ Type-safe configuration and responses
* ✅ Reusable across multiple workers
* ✅ Helper methods for URL building, signing, etc.
* ✅ Easier to add new exchanges

**Updated Workers:**

* `workers/trade-worker` - Exchange clients (Binance, Bybit, MEXC) extend shared base class

## Migration Guide

### For New Workers with Queues

If you're building a new worker that needs queue handling:

```typescript theme={null}
import { createQueueHandler } from "@jango-blockchained/hoox-shared/queue-handler";
import type { QueueHandlerOptions } from "@jango-blockchained/hoox-shared/queue-handler";

interface MyQueueMessage {
  requestId: string;
  action: string;
  data: Record<string, any>;
}

const MAX_RETRIES = 5;
const BACKOFF_DELAYS = [0, 30, 60, 300, 900];

export default {
  async queue(batch, env, ctx) {
    const handler = createQueueHandler<MyQueueMessage>({
      maxRetries: MAX_RETRIES,
      backoffDelays: BACKOFF_DELAYS,
      logger,
      onMessage: async (message, attemptNumber) => {
        // Process message
        const result = await processMessage(message, env, ctx);
        if (!result.success) throw new Error(result.error);
      },
      onRetry: (_message, _attemptNumber, _error, _delaySeconds) => {
        // Logging is handled by createQueueHandler internally
      },
      onDLQ: async (message, attempt, error) => {
        // Log to dead-letter queue
        await logToDatabase(message, error);
      },
    });

    return await handler(batch);
  },
};
```

**Key Points:**

* Define your message type as a TypeScript interface
* Set `maxRetries` and `backoffDelays` as constants
* Implement `onMessage` with your processing logic
* Implement `onDLQ` for dead-letter handling
* The factory handles all retry logic and logging

***

### For New Scheduled Workers

If you're building a new worker with scheduled/cron triggers:

```typescript theme={null}
import { createCronHandler } from "@jango-blockchained/hoox-shared/cron-handler";
import type { CronHandlerOptions } from "@jango-blockchained/hoox-shared/cron-handler";

interface Env {
  // Your environment bindings
  DB: D1Database;
  KV: KVNamespace;
}

export default {
  async scheduled(event, env, ctx) {
    const handler = createCronHandler<Env>({
      name: "my-scheduled-worker",
      logger,
      handler: async (event, env, ctx) => {
        // Your cron logic
        await runRoutine(env, ctx);
      },
    });

    return await handler(event, env, ctx);
  },
};
```

**Key Points:**

* Define your `Env` type with all bindings
* Set `name` to your worker name for logging
* Implement `handler` with your cron logic
* The factory handles logging and duration measurement
* Errors are logged with context and re-thrown

***

### For New Exchange Clients

If you're adding a new exchange:

```typescript theme={null}
import { BaseExchangeClient } from "@jango-blockchained/hoox-shared/exchanges";
import type {
  TradeParams,
  OrderResponse,
  Position,
} from "@jango-blockchained/hoox-shared/exchanges";

export class MyExchangeClient extends BaseExchangeClient {
  constructor(apiKey: string, apiSecret: string) {
    super(apiKey, apiSecret);
  }

  async validateApiCredentials(): Promise<boolean> {
    try {
      const response = await this.makeRequest("GET", "/api/account");
      return !!response.id;
    } catch {
      return false;
    }
  }

  async executeTrade(params: TradeParams): Promise<OrderResponse> {
    try {
      const response = await this.makeRequest("POST", "/api/orders", {
        symbol: params.symbol,
        side: params.side,
        quantity: params.quantity,
        price: params.price,
      });
      return {
        orderId: response.id,
        symbol: params.symbol,
        status: response.status,
      };
    } catch (e) {
      throw new Error(`Trade execution failed: ${String(e)}`);
    }
  }

  async getMarkPrice(symbol: string): Promise<number> {
    const response = await this.makeRequest("GET", `/api/ticker/${symbol}`);
    return parseFloat(response.price);
  }

  async getOpenPositions(symbol?: string): Promise<Position[]> {
    const response = await this.makeRequest("GET", "/api/positions");
    return response.positions.map((p: any) => ({
      symbol: p.symbol,
      side: p.side.toLowerCase() as "long" | "short",
      quantity: p.quantity,
      entryPrice: p.entryPrice,
      unrealizedPnl: p.pnl,
    }));
  }

  async closePosition(
    symbol: string,
    positionId?: string
  ): Promise<OrderResponse> {
    const response = await this.makeRequest("POST", "/api/positions/close", {
      symbol,
      positionId,
    });
    return {
      orderId: response.id,
      symbol,
      status: response.status,
    };
  }

  async getWalletBalance(): Promise<number> {
    const response = await this.makeRequest("GET", "/api/account/balance");
    return response.total;
  }

  protected async makeRequest(
    method: string,
    path: string,
    data?: any
  ): Promise<any> {
    // Implement your exchange-specific HTTP request logic
    // This is where you handle authentication, signing, etc.
    const url = `${this.baseUrl}${path}`;
    const response = await fetch(url, {
      method,
      headers: {
        "X-API-Key": this.apiKey,
        // Add other headers as needed
      },
      body: data ? JSON.stringify(data) : undefined,
    });

    if (!response.ok) {
      throw new Error(`API error: ${response.statusText}`);
    }

    return response.json();
  }
}
```

**Key Points:**

* Extend `BaseExchangeClient` with your exchange name
* Implement all 6 abstract methods
* Implement `makeRequest` with your exchange-specific logic
* Use the base class constructor to initialize credentials
* Return typed responses for type safety

## Best Practices Going Forward

### 1. Use `createQueueHandler` for all queue-based workers

* No manual retry/backoff logic
* Consistent error handling and logging
* Type-safe with generic message types

```typescript theme={null}
const handler = createQueueHandler<YourMessageType>({
  maxRetries: 5,
  backoffDelays: [0, 30, 60, 300, 900],
  logger,
  onMessage: async (msg) => {
    /* ... */
  },
  onDLQ: async (msg, attempt, error) => {
    /* ... */
  },
});
```

### 2. Use `createCronHandler` for all scheduled workers

* Standardized logging format
* Automatic duration measurement
* Consistent error handling

```typescript theme={null}
const handler = createCronHandler<Env>({
  name: "my-worker",
  logger,
  handler: async (event, env, ctx) => {
    /* ... */
  },
});
```

### 3. Extend `BaseExchangeClient` for new exchanges

* Type-safe configuration
* Consistent interface across exchanges
* Reusable helper methods

```typescript theme={null}
export class MyExchangeClient extends BaseExchangeClient {
  async validateApiCredentials(): Promise<boolean> {
    /* ... */
  }
  async executeTrade(params: TradeParams): Promise<OrderResponse> {
    /* ... */
  }
  // ... implement other abstract methods
}
```

### 4. Keep helper/utility functions organized

* **Factories** in `packages/shared/src/` for framework concerns (queues, cron)
* **Helpers** in `logic/` directories for domain logic (trade execution, notifications)
* **Types** in `types.ts` or `exchanges/types.ts` for shared types

### 5. Test all patterns before committing

* All pattern tests are in `packages/shared/__tests__/`
* Worker tests cover integration
* Run `bun test` before committing

***

## Troubleshooting

### Queue Handler Issues

**Problem:** Messages not being retried

* Check `maxRetries` is greater than 0
* Verify `backoffDelays` array has enough entries
* Ensure `onMessage` throws error on failure

**Problem:** DLQ not being called

* Verify `onDLQ` is implemented
* Check that `maxRetries` is being exceeded
* Ensure message attempts counter is working

### Cron Handler Issues

**Problem:** Logs not appearing

* Verify `logger` is passed to handler
* Check logger implementation has `info` and `error` methods
* Ensure logger is properly initialized

**Problem:** Duration not measured

* Duration is always measured automatically
* Check logger output for `durationMs` field
* Verify handler is actually being called

### Exchange Client Issues

**Problem:** API credentials validation failing

* Verify `apiKey` and `apiSecret` are correct
* Check exchange API endpoint is accessible
* Ensure `makeRequest` is properly implemented

**Problem:** Trade execution failing

* Verify `TradeParams` are correct for exchange
* Check exchange API documentation for parameter names
* Ensure proper error handling in `executeTrade`
