Reminds me of Hangfire on .NET. I haven't used it since a previous job in 2016, but it was easily one of my most favorite tools. You can have it serialize scheduled tasks to Redis or SQL Server -- you can get the same durability guarantees the underlying storage mechanism has. The API couldn't be more simple to use: https://www.hangfire.io/overview.html https://www.hangfire.io/overview.html Being able to reliably fire-and-forget or schedule background tasks from a web app can be really powerful.

Hangfire was definitely a game changer in the .net world back in the day. One of the most difficult things to do in .net before .net core was long running backgrounds jobs from asp.net & IIS without the apppool prematurely killing it. The other option was MSMQ and offloading the task to another process like a windows service. Just allround a major pita.
