Kue (deps_safe_kue fork)

A priority job queue backed by Redis, originally built by Automattic and now unmaintained. This fork (deps_safe_kue v0.12.0) fixes legacy dependency issues without adding new features. It supports delayed jobs, parallel work distribution, job events, TTL, retries with backoff, graceful shutdown, full-text search, a RESTful JSON API, and a rich UI. The package is ESM-only in recent versions (if following upstream) though the 0.x series is mostly CJS. Known to be in maintenance mode; users should consider alternatives like Bull or Bee-Queue for active development.
