Node.js backend architecture question
You could use a Redis based job system like https://github.com/bee-queue/bee-queue for maintenance and email. The jobs could be populated by the API service, some cron scripts, and whatever else, while you'd have dedicated worker processes (written in Node.js?) pulling the jobs and running them.

Scaling synchronous microservices
I'm a fan of bee-queue for this when working in Node, but it's just a wrapper around reliable queue patterns in Redis; you might want to investigate how it works (the readme is quite good) for your own use case, or find an equivalent for your environment. The key is it's designed for short tasks (seconds long, not minutes or hours), and you can receive a result back from the task unlike some fire-and-forget queueing solutions.
