pg-boss

A high-performance job queue for Node.js using PostgreSQL as the persistent storage engine.

Pg-boss leverages PostgreSQL features like SKIP LOCKED and LISTEN/NOTIFY to handle background tasks without the operational overhead of Redis or RabbitMQ. It supports cron-style scheduling, exponential backoff retries, and batch processing for high-throughput workloads. By utilizing a single database for both application data and job state, it ensures ACID compliance and simplifies infrastructure management for developers building scalable TypeScript or JavaScript services.
