Background jobs for developers

Queue it once. It runs.

Ratchet is the jobs layer you stop thinking about: one POST to enqueue, retries with backoff, cron scheduling, and a dead-letter queue you can actually read.

A job's life, end to end
Why Ratchet

The failure modes, already handled.

Retries that back off

Exponential backoff with jitter, per-job caps, and a max-attempts ceiling. A flaky downstream API costs you seconds, not a pager.

Cron, without the box

Schedules live next to your jobs: `0 6 * * 1` and it runs, with the same retries and logs as everything else.

Idempotency keys

Enqueue the same key twice, run once. Double-click bugs and webhook replays stop charging your customers.

A readable dead-letter queue

Failed jobs keep their payload, their attempts, and their stack traces. Fix the bug, replay the batch.

One POST to enqueue

No broker to run, no SDK lock-in. If your stack can make an HTTP request, it can ship jobs today.

The console

See every job. Replay any of them.

Queue depth, throughput, and failures on one screen. Click a dead job, read the trace, fix the code, replay. No SSH, no grep.
