BullMQ

BullMQ is a Redis -based queue for Node.js that handles background jobs, scheduled tasks, and workflow orchestration. It's the successor to Bull — faster, TypeScript-native, and with better primitives for complex job flows.

Jobs are durable (persisted in Redis), support retries with backoff, delays, priorities, rate limiting, and parent-child dependencies. BullMQ comes with Bull Board — a real-time dashboard for monitoring queues. It's the go-to choice for Node.js teams that need reliable background processing without introducing heavy infrastructure like Kafka.
