Show HN: I ported my background task queue to TypeScript

Hello there, One year ago I posted[0] on HN[1] a replacement for Celery, a background task queue for Python. WakaQ has been running in production[2] for over a year, and it's performed flawlessly. I've even been able to reduce the amount of worker machines needed, saving compute costs, even though the number of tasks executed has increased over time[3]. Now I'm starting a new Next.js project using TypeScript, tRPC, Prisma, hosted on DigitalOcean App Platform and I needed to execute code in the background without Python. So, I've ported WakaQ into TypeScript. I just got it working today so it probably has room for improvement, but it's working in production! Let me know what you think after checking out the repo[4].
