A lightweight AMQP-based work queue library (v0.11.2, last updated 2015) for Node.js that provides durable, persistent task processing via RabbitMQ. Key features include one-by-one task processing (RabbitMQ 3.3+), cron scheduling, configurable retry with exponential backoff, and a fluent API using promises. Unlike generic AMQP libraries, worque simplifies task definition and lifecycle management with built-in events and scheduling. It relies on AMQP URLs and uses an event-driven model for task lifecycle. The package is stable but in maintenance mode; no recent updates.
