Introduce a built-in background job handling system in Node.js that simplifies the setup for running async tasks, such as emails, webhooks, and scheduled tasks, especially for small projects.
In small Node projects I usually start without any background job system, but sooner or later I end up needing one. Emails, webhooks, imports, scheduled tasks, retries… and suddenly I need a queue, a worker process, cron, etc. For larger systems that makes sense, but for small backends it often feels like a lot of setup just to run a few async tasks. Do you usually run your own queue / worker setup (Bull, Redis, etc.), or do you use some simpler approach?
