guides

Message queues, schedulers & alternatives

Practical guides for teams evaluating a self-hosted HTTP message broker — how it compares to Kafka, Redis queues and managed options like QStash.

message queue

HTTP message queue

Self-hosted push queue for jobs and webhooks — producer, queue, consumer over HTTP.

no redis

Skip BullMQ workers and Redis HA. One binary that pushes signed webhooks.

qstash · upstash

Self-hosted Upstash QStash with groups, priority and no per-message billing.

job queue

Background jobs over HTTP — enqueue once, receive a webhook when it runs.

scheduler

Cron, delays and intervals that fire signed HTTP callbacks.
