In plain words

Wsq is a task queue system built on WebSocket technology for distributing and managing jobs across distributed systems. It is designed for developers who need to queue and process tasks asynchronously. The system uses WebSocket connections to enable real-time communication between clients and workers, allowing for efficient job distribution and status updates without traditional polling methods.

  • Hatchet – Open-source distributed task queue2024 · github.com · ▲578

    Hello HN, we're Gabe and Alexander from Hatchet (https://hatchet.run), we're working on an open-source, distributed task queue. It's an alternative to tools like Celery for Python and BullMQ for Node.js, primarily focused on reliability and observability. It uses Postgres for the underlying queue. Why build another managed queue? We wanted to build something with the benefits of full transactional enqueueing - particularly for dependent, DAG-style execution - and felt strongly that Postgres solves for 99.9% of queueing use-cases better than most alternatives (Celery uses Redis or…

    DriftDB – an open source WebSocket backend for real-time apps2023 · driftdb.com · ▲367

    Hey HN! I’ve written a bunch of WebSocket servers over the years to do simple things like state synchronization, WebRTC signaling, and notifying a client when a backend job was run. I realized that if I had a simple way to create a private, temporary, mini-redis that the client could talk to directly, it would save a lot of time. So we created DriftDB. In addition to the open source server that you can run yourself, we also provide https://jamsocket.live where you can use an instance we host on Cloudflare’s edge (~13ms round trip latency from my home in NY). You may have seen my…
