I’ve been working on open sourcing a background jobs library I built for Rust and Postgres, called Underway.[0] Unlike other similar queuing libraries, it offers a simple “step” functions API for defining dependent units of work.

I built this because a number of projects I work on need a robust, resilient way of deferring work but I didn’t want to add another piece of infrastructure or another language to my stack. Plus as soon as you start to reach for APIs that offer some kind of workflow concept, your options become fewer and further between.
