glide-mq

High-performance message queue for Node.js (v0.15.3) built on Valkey/Redis Streams with Rust NAPI bindings via valkey-glide, achieving 1 RTT per job through server-side function calls (FCALL). Actively maintained with weekly releases. Differentiators include AI-native primitives (cost tracking, token streaming, model failover, budget caps, human-in-the-loop suspend/resume, TPM rate limiting, vector search), hash-tag clustering for zero-config Valkey clusters, and up to 38% higher throughput than Bull/BullMQ. Ships TypeScript types, requires Node >=20, and has optional peer dependencies on OpenTelemetry and Express.
