pg-boss - Queueing jobs in Node.js using PostgreSQL like a boss

pg-boss is a job queue built in Node.js on top of PostgreSQL in order to provide background processing and reliable asynchronous execution to Node.js applications. pg-boss relies on SKIP LOCKED, a feature introduced in PostgreSQL 9.5 written specifically for message queues, in order to resolve record locking challenges inherent with relational databases. This brings the safety of guaranteed atomic commits of a relational database to your asynchronous job processing.
