node-resque

node-resque is an opinionated, Redis-backed (version 2.6.0 and up required) background job processing system for Node.js, currently stable at version 9.5.0. It provides features like priority queues, plugins, locking, and delayed jobs, implementing an API largely compatible with Ruby's Resque and Sidekiq. The project actively maintains and releases new versions, primarily consisting of dependency bumps and minor fixes in recent changelogs. Since version 6, the codebase transitioned to TypeScript, though transpiled JavaScript is still provided. Version 5 introduced `async/await`, making Node.js 8.0.0+ a minimum requirement and breaking compatibility with older versions due to changes in API paradigms.
