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)

Choose Postgres Queue Technology
I do enjoy using https://github.com/graphile/worker for my postgresql queuing needs. Very scalable, the next release 0.14 even more so, and easy to use.

On the same subject (job queue based on PostgreSQL), I'm successfully using the https://github.com/graphile/worker/ (NodeJS) project in production.
Jobs are written in Javascript.

Intro to PostGraphile V5 (Part 2): Plugins and Presets
Having now built V5's unified plugins and presets system, I'm extremely pleased with it! I'm so happy, in fact, that I'm looking forward to integrating it with Graphile's other tools such as Graphile Worker (our Postgres-backed job queue) and Graphile Migrate (a lightweight SQL-based migration framework that focuses on DX) once V5 is out and stable.

SQL Maxis: Why We Ditched RabbitMQ and Replaced It with a Postgres Queue
Another good library for this is Graphile Worker:
https://github.com/graphile/worker
Uses both listen notify and advisory locks so it is using all the right features. And you can enqueue a job from sql and plpgsql triggers. Nice!
Worker is in Node js.
