tl-pg-boss

PostgreSQL-backed job queue for Node.js with exactly-once delivery, cron scheduling, and transactional safety.

When to Use

• "Add background jobs to my app"
• "I need a job queue but already use Postgres"
• "Set up cron jobs / scheduled tasks"
• "Process async work with retries"
• User mentions: job queue, background processing, task scheduling, worker

When to Consider Alternatives

For managed background jobs with dashboard UI, consider Trigger.dev instead. pg-boss is best when:

• You want self-hosted, PostgreSQL-native job queues
• You already have Postgres and don't want external dependencies
