Hey HN,
I'm the maintainer of node-cron (5M+ downloads/month), and I recently built Sidequest.js, a background job runner for Node.js inspired by Oban (Elixir) and Sidekiq (Rails).
It solves some common problems I saw with libraries like node-cron:
- Jobs don’t block your API: they run in isolated worker threads
- No Redis or vendor lock-in: use Postgres, MySQL, SQLite, or MongoDB
- Supports retries, uniqueness, concurrency, snoozing, prioritization
- Comes with a CLI and a simple dashboard
- Works great in monoliths and doesn’t require extra infra
Quick start (no signup needed): https://docs.sidequestjs.com/quick-start

Would love feedback or feature suggestions. Happy to answer any questions here!
