BullMQ - Message Queue and Batch processing for NodeJS and Python based on Redis

Project mention: Object Narrowing in Typescript with Graphile Worker | dev.to | 2024-01-31

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)

4 1,334 8.0 TypeScript

differential

3 103 9.7 TypeScript

Typescript-first background services platform with durable functions.

Project mention: Differential: Type safe RPC that feels like local functions | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-03-09

Fair question.
> But for the service to start it needs to get a request (via lambda invocation).
A service can also start by manually `.invoke`-ing the lambda.
The control-plane will start the lambda function when there's work. Lambda "asks" for work to do. Once work has finished, lambda function exits.
When deploying, we start the lambda function once so it can come out for air and advertise itself to the control-plane.
This is an affordance we do only do for lambda, and currently in development with our deployment offering here [1]
