How long we should expect queue jobs to take?

[Anonymous]

I created an export activity job with the following payload.

{ 
   "format": "CSV",
"filter": { 
      "createdAt": { 
        "startAt": "2018-04-16T22:59:58-00:00",
          "endAt": "2018-04-16T22:59:59-00:00"
                        }
   }
} 

After en-queuing it, it took a long time for the en-queued message to be processed. Could you kindly let me know how long it usually takes for a job to be taken out of the queue and processed?

Regards,

There's no general-purpose "usually".

You have to find out the baselines for your instance. Even something that seems to take only a tiny slice of your db (a) may need to cursor through millions of records and (b) is balanced against usage of the rest of your instance and pod.
