queue-schedule

Queue producer and consumer tools with Kafka support, including both node-rdkafka and kafkajs adapters. Version 3.0.6 (latest) is stable with TypeScript types included. Designed to address Kafka's lack of slow-consumption support by providing a scheduling layer for delayed/controlled task processing. Key differentiators: dual adapter support (node-rdkafka/kafkajs), built-in delay and pause mechanisms, event-based error handling. Release cadence appears low (last update not recent). Not actively maintained (last commit 2021). Alternative to manual Kafka consumer management with simpler API.
