        abstract = {n modern microservice architectures, efficient task scheduling and background job management are critical to achieving both scalability and cost-efficiency. This paper investigates the use of BullMQ, a Node.js-based message queuing system, as a framework for building scalable systems while optimizing operational costs. By utilizing reverse engineering techniques and performing comprehensive system design analysis, we identify various opportunities to reduce development overhead and operational expenses. The study demonstrates how architectural decisions based on queue and job flow analysis can significantly enhance resource utilization and minimize system latency. Our research provides a practical framework for integrating BullMQ with cost-aware engineering practices, enabling the development of high-performance backend systems that also prioritize budget constraints.},
