db-scheduler VS pg-boss

In java we have found Quartz( Quartz) , Job Runr(Jobrunr) and db-scheduler(db-scheduler) and need to evaluate these for our use case.

db-scheduler is also worth checking out: https://github.com/kagkarlsson/db-scheduler

I've been using db-scheduler in a Spring Boot project and am very happy with it.

You might like https://github.com/kagkarlsson/db-scheduler as a simpler alternative for Quartz. It supports JDBC-able databases as backend but also allows your own implementations for task repository.

Hi everyone. I’m looking for a cluster-friendly task scheduler for NodeJS, something similar to https://github.com/kagkarlsson/db-scheduler for Java. Been surprisingly difficult to find one. So far Agenda is the only one that comes close, however I’d like to avoid MongoDB/Redis as the persistence layer if possible. Any recommendations?

For running queues on Postgres with Node.js backend(s), I highly recommend https://github.com/timgit/pg-boss. I'm sure it has it scale limits. But if you're one of the 90% of the apps that never needs any kind of scale that a modern server can't easily handle then it's fantastic. You get transactional queueing of jobs, and it automatically handles syncing across multiple job processing servers using Postgres locks.

Jobs use pg-boss, a postgres extension, to queue and run tasks under the hood.

If you don't want to roll your own, look into https://github.com/timgit/pg-boss

I saw this https://github.com/timgit/pg-boss but it's more for jobs than for message with multiple consumers (having their own progress offset).

The best I've used till now. Has all kind of features and really great when you have a postgres dB in your stack. https://github.com/timgit/pg-boss

Check out these; - https://github.com/mitranim/posterus - https://github.com/timgit/pg-boss - https://github.com/FirebaseExtended/firebase-queue - https://www.npmjs.com/package/rabbit-queue

You can use the simplest option than implement a new service. Keep in mind that every running system can be a job scheduler, you can just use nodejs worker threads, Redis, or even your DB as a job scheduler, check PGBoss for example.

Both! For context, we're currently using https://github.com/timgit/pg-boss as a task queue on top of postgres and it works great. No need to complicate things with Redis. I believe it's quite straightforward to implement a task queue on top of postgres using the SKIP LOCKED functionality.
