Bee-Queue is a simple, fast, robust job/task queue library for Node.js backed by Redis. It is designed for distributed worker pools handling short, real-time jobs with minimal Redis and network overhead.

Use cases

• run background jobs in node.js
• build a distributed worker pool with redis
• process tasks asynchronously from a web server
• enqueue jobs and get results within an http request
• retry failed jobs with configurable strategies
• schedule delayed jobs in node.js

When to choose

• you need a lightweight, high-throughput queue for short, real-time jobs
• you want minimal dependencies and a simple promise/callback API
• you need at-least-once delivery with retries for stuck jobs
• scaling by adding more worker processes is your model

When to avoid

• you need job prioritization or repeatable/cron-style recurring jobs
• you primarily run long-running background jobs better suited to Bull or Celery
• you don't have or want a Redis dependency
