# Work Queue API
## Overview
A lightweight internal API that tracks the full lifecycle of work items across TheLab agents.
## Quick start
1. Start the stack with Docker Compose.
2. Wait for PostgreSQL and the API healthcheck to pass.
3. Call `GET /health`.
4. Create projects and work items with the API endpoints below.
## Status lifecycle diagram
```text
queued -> dispatched -> in_progress -> completed
\-> blocked
\-> failed
queued/dispatched -> cancelled
```
## API endpoint reference
### Projects
- `POST /projects`
- `GET /projects`
- `GET /projects/{id}`
- `PATCH /projects/{id}`
### Work
- `POST /work`
- `GET /work`
- `GET /work/{id}`
- `PATCH /work/{id}`
- `DELETE /work/{id}`
### Monitoring
- `GET /work?status=in_progress`
- `GET /work?status=blocked`
- `GET /work?status=failed`
- `GET /work?status=completed&since=<ts>`
## Docker Compose
```yaml
version: '3.8'
services:
api:
image: git.danhenry.dev/thelab/work-queue-api:latest
ports:
- "8080:8080"
environment:
- DATABASE_URL=postgresql://postgres:password@db:5432/work_queue
- PORT=8080
depends_on:
db:
condition: service_healthy
restart: unless-stopped
healthcheck:
test: ["CMD", "wget", "-qO-", "http://localhost:8080/health"]
interval: 30s
timeout: 10s
retries: 3
db:
image: postgres:16-alpine
environment:
- POSTGRES_PASSWORD=password
- POSTGRES_DB=work_queue
volumes:
- ./data/postgres:/var/lib/postgresql/data
healthcheck:
test: ["CMD-SHELL", "pg_isready -U postgres"]
interval: 10s
timeout: 5s
retries: 5
```
## Notes
- FastAPI web service
- PostgreSQL storage
- No auth
- One `in_progress` work item per agent is enforced in the database
