+### [BullMQ](https://docs.bullmq.io) job queue
+
+#### Server
+
+The default `BullmqTransport` is using the [`bullmq`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/bullmq) module as a dependency, connects to Redis using `Worker` class.
+
+```shell script
+npm i allserver bullmq
+```
+
+#### Client
+
+Optionally, you can use Allserver's built-in client:
+
+```shell script
+npm i allserver bullmq
+```
+
+Or use the `bullmq` module directly. You don't need to use Allserver to call remote procedures. See code example below.
