Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Object Narrowing in Typescript with Graphile Worker
Graphile worker has been great for me because it's a library that works with Postgres that allows me to queue jobs and execute them on the server without adding too many additional layers of complexity for being able to accomplish async tasks. (I'm aware of how popular bull is, but I don't want to add another data-store only for async tasks)

Job Schedulers for Node: Bull or Agenda?
Bull is currently in maintenance mode, we are only fixing bugs. For new features check BullMQ, a modern rewritten implementation in Typescript. You are still very welcome to use Bull if it suits your needs, which is a safe, battle-tested library.

Are there any generally accepted standards for inter-microservice communication? Or does everyone just go it their own?

Next.js background jobs
You might consider using a queue for processing the request. I've found bullMQ, which works with Redis, to be a nice developer experience.

What is a good background scheduler?
BullMQ is a pretty solid choice: https://github.com/taskforcesh/bullmq It's the successor of Bull: https://github.com/OptimalBits/bull

First time building microservice-based application
For Node.JS you can use something like BullMQ (https://github.com/taskforcesh/bullmq) and then dispatch jobs to the message queue with your worker handling the jobs. You can read about an example for Bull MQ here (https://deadsimplechat.com/blog/best-nodejs-schedulers/#2-bull)

Help implementing Heroku Data For Redis (+bull & throng) / `ioredis`

Planning projects ? Looking for help
Personally with more time I would also use JavaScript so I can improve it. Last time I wrote something with Express and a database connection is a long time ago and not for work, only for my personal testing. But for JavaScript database connection to PostgreSQL I recommend pg-promise. That works like a charm.

Ask HN: Why are so many PHP projects moving to Node?
I've always loved this project / product:
https://github.com/outline/outline
I think the guy who built it posts here. There's also pg-promise, a "Postgres interface for Node.js":

Which ORM do you prefer with nodejs/Typescript project and why ?
Raw pgPromise with string templating.

Is my health check endpoint good enough?
i do have a couple of them like websocket server using ws, bullmq for sending emails and postgres listen/notify to push data to websocket clients. Would you happen to have any ideas on how to go about these? I did some research

Yes. You can also take at the pg-promise library. https://github.com/vitaly-t/pg-promise

What package do you guys use for postgres in node js?
Is there any difference to the named parameters already supported? https://github.com/vitaly-t/pg-promise#named-parameters

DenoDB
During my years as a dev i have really started to dislike ORMs. They always fail in the end. SQL is universal, and transfers between languages and tech fields. This is why im pro-sql, and always try to avoid unnecessary abstractions.
I have actually went back to writing pure SQL in files, and using those as params for whatever db engine i use, this makes it even possible to reuse the code in other projects (even its unlikely that you can use the exact same query, but just as a "it would work" in theory).
For node based projects i have used and would probably still choose pg-promise (https://github.com/vitaly-t/pg-promise).
-
How to use PostgreSQL with Node?
Since I'm decent at writing SQL queries and I don't want to learn additional syntax to work with ORMs/query builders, I stay as close as possible to the database driver. pg-promise is an excellent library built on top of the Node.js driver for PostgreSQL. It's built with promises in mind, it's well-tested and typed.
