Async/Await covers the 80% of use cases for async logic in JS. Most people aren't really using promises as multicast references. They don't call `then` in one place, hang on to the promise reference, then call `then` again somewhere else (perhaps to represent a cached value); they call `then` once on the reference because it's just a moment in a composite operation.

It's for this reason that I think this library[0] is the more appropriate abstraction for that same 80% of use-cases, as its more memory efficient since you can represent the same composite operation that generates multiple promise references with a single object (a unicast reference instead). I haven't learned Rust but apparently the author bases this on Rust's ownership principle.

These tasks are managed by pg-boss behind the scenes (which is based on PostgreSQL) and, oh look, that seamlessly connects to...

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

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.
