My initial thought when opening your website was that this was a job queue, like BullMQ. Not a "link things together like IFTT/Zapier/N8N but in code" platform. I don't think I'd use "Background Jobs framework" to describe what you're building, as that term has very different associations. Am I right in saying this is like BullMQ, except with integrations? If so, I'd focus more on the integration part of your marketing.


That's really interesting. What associations do you have with "Background Jobs framework"?

Quite a lot of our customers are using us instead of Temporal. Not for linking stuff together use cases.


Temporal calls itself a “Durable execution platform”, which I think emphases the persistence aspect of a message queue. I remember Cadence which is Temporal’s predecessor called itself a “workflow orchestration framework”. I think it’s a better term.


Just a background job queue library basically. Maybe with a fancy dashboard. That was my first impression.
