Bee-Queue v1.0 is a fast, lightweight, robust Redis-backed job queue for Node.js that has been revived to make it the fastest and most robust Redis-based distributed queue in the Node ecosystem. The project was initially built with short, real-time jobs in mind and can scale by simply running more workers. Bee-Queue's release comes after Mixmax decided not to use a different queue like RabbitMQ due to its ease of use and performance benefits, instead opting for a custom Redis-based solution that has resulted in significant improvements over their previous queue Bull. The new queue is now hosted in a new Github organization and is maintained by Mixmax alongside the original author Lewis Ellis, with the goal of keeping it small with performance and stability as top priorities.
