A dead-simple HTTP queue from Upstash for firing off background jobs from serverless functions without standing up Redis or a worker fleet.
Ruby's default answer to background jobs — boringly reliable, Redis-backed, and still hard to beat a decade later.
For workflows that must survive crashes, deploys, and days-long waits, Temporal's durable execution model is the serious option.
Write long-running background tasks as plain async TypeScript and let it handle queuing, retries, and scheduling — no Redis to run yourself.
