glide-mqMessage Queue for Node.js

High-performance job queue on Valkey/Redis Streams with 1-RTT operations and a Rust NAPI core

⚡

1 Round-Trip Per Job

All queue operations complete in a single FCALL via Valkey Server Functions - no Lua EVAL overhead, no multi-command scripts.

🚀

Built on valkey-glide native bindings. Protocol parsing in Rust, not JavaScript. Lower latency, less GC pressure.

🌐

Hash-tagged keys route all queue data to the same slot automatically. Works identically on standalone and cluster.

🔗

FlowProducer for parent-child trees. chain(), group(), chord() helpers. Arbitrary DAG submission with cycle detection.

🔈

Durable pub/sub with independent subscriber groups, NATS-style subject filtering, and per-group retries.

☁

ServerlessPool caches connections across warm invocations. Lightweight Producer class with zero EventEmitter overhead.
