We are building a Node.js service which will need asynchronous support for tasks like sending emails. Here's our evaluation:

• kue
  • https://github.com/Automattic/kue
  • Good: Seems well documented
  • Good: Supports retries and backoff
  • Good: Uses Redis so 1 less thing to maintain
  • Bad: Only supports Redis so have to wary of key eviction at later stages of growth
  • Bad: Slow to resolve issues
