About
CatQueue is a zero-dependency job queue for Node.js and TypeScript that runs entirely on PostgreSQL instead of requiring a separate broker like Redis. It provides built-in idempotency keys, a per-attempt error log stored as JSON, dead-letter queues with replay, and atomic job locking via SELECT FOR UPDATE SKIP LOCKED, positioning it as a Postgres-native alternative to BullMQ for teams that already run Postgres.
Why it made the leaderboard
Removes the need to run Redis just for job queuing when a team already runs Postgres, with documented performance comparisons against BullMQ.
