What both publish
| Fact | Graphile Worker | TaskTiger |
|---|---|---|
| License | The core Graphile Worker project is released under the MIT license. | The GitHub repository identifies the project as MIT licensed. |
| Purpose | Graphile Worker stores jobs in PostgreSQL and executes them on Node.js so background work does not hold up application responses. | TaskTiger is a Python task queue that uses Redis. |
| Reliability | Jobs execute at least once, and failures trigger automatic retries with exponential backoff. | It moves tasks atomically between queue states and re-executes tasks after a timeout if a worker crashes. |
