Best Celery alternatives

Celery is the task-queue target all seven tools on this page are listed against, and six of the seven are marked open source. Trigger.dev is open-source background jobs and workflows for Next.js and TypeScript, listed with a free tier available, Inngest is reliable background jobs, workflows, and step functions for developers, listed with a generous free tier, and Temporal is durable workflow execution that guarantees your code runs to completion, listed as self-hosted free. RQ (Redis Queue) is a simple Python library for queueing jobs and processing them in the background with workers, listed as free open source, though its pickle default is insecure against untrusted Redis, Dramatiq is a fast and reliable distributed task processing library for Python 3, listed as free open source, and Faktory is a language-agnostic persistent background job server, listed as free open source, though scheduling and workflows need its commercial Enterprise edition. Agenda, the seventh tool, is a light-weight job scheduling library for Node.js, listed as free open source, and its version 6 is ESM-only for Node 18 and newer, with Postgres and Redis backends now available alongside MongoDB.
