Jobs & Queues
Background jobs, cron, and durable workflows.
BullMQ
The go-to if you already run Redis and want a battle-tested job queue library rather than a hosted platform. You own the infra, you keep the control.
Inngest
Write a normal async function, trigger it off an event or cron, and it durably resumes from the last completed step if something crashes mid-run. No separate queue infra to stand up.
Temporal
The heavyweight option once your background work turns into genuinely long-running, multi-step distributed workflows that need to survive crashes for days, not seconds.
Trigger.dev
Similar durable-background-task pitch to Inngest, open source (Apache 2.0). Good if you want the option to self-host later.
Upstash QStash
HTTP-based queue: POST a job to QStash, it retries and delivers to your endpoint later. No worker process to deploy, which is nice on serverless.
