Sidequest

Redis-free background job processor for Node.js that persists jobs in Postgres, MySQL, SQLite, or MongoDB.

PlatformWebfreeglobal

Sidequest is an open-source, Redis-free background job processor for Node.js that persists jobs in a database the team already runs, such as Postgres, MySQL, SQLite, or MongoDB, with a built-in web dashboard for monitoring. It's positioned as a production-grade alternative to BullMQ or pg-boss for teams who don't want to add Redis just for background jobs.
