I have been using BullMq for most of my background job related work but lately I have been working on some smaller scale app where I having a full blown Redis setup with separate worker process would have been overkill.

That is why I built a lightweight, in-memory Node.js background job queue. It comes with a Bull/BullMq-type API, concurrency control, schedulers, job retention and much more. It has zero dependencies and is fully typesafe. Use this when you need a simple, performant background job system but don't need distributed workers and Redis-persistence (best for small apps, CLIs and local tools).

Let me know what you think!
