Cloud Tasks API: Nodejs Client

This library is considered to be stable. The code surface will not change in backwards-incompatible ways unless absolutely necessary (e.g. because of critical security issues) or with an extensive deprecation period. Issues and requests against stable libraries are addressed with the highest priority

Supported Node.js Versions

Our client libraries follow the Node.js release schedule. Libraries are compatible with all current active and maintenance versions of Node.js. If you are using an end-of-life version of Node.js, we recommend that you update as soon as possible to an actively supported LTS version.

Google's client libraries support legacy versions of Node.js runtimes on a best-efforts basis with the following warnings:

• Legacy versions are not tested in continuous integration.
• Some security patches and features cannot be backported.
• Dependencies cannot be kept up-to-date.

Client libraries targeting some end-of-life versions of Node.js are available, and can be installed through npm dist-tags. The dist-tags follow the naming convention legacy-(version). For example, npm install @google-cloud/tasks@legacy-8 installs client libraries for versions compatible with Node.js 8.

Versioning

This library follows Semantic Versioning.

Similar packages

Other packages similar to @google-cloud/tasks

bull

Bull is a Node library that implements a fast and robust queue system based on Redis. It provides features like delayed jobs, rate-limited jobs, and job prioritization. Compared to @google-cloud/tasks, Bull is more focused on in-memory job queues and does not offer direct integration with Google Cloud services.

agenda

Agenda is a lightweight job scheduling library for Node.js that uses MongoDB as a persistence layer. It is designed for long-running jobs and provides features like job scheduling, job prioritization, and job concurrency. Unlike @google-cloud/tasks, Agenda is more suitable for applications that already use MongoDB and need a simple job scheduling solution.

kue

Kue is a priority job queue backed by Redis, built for Node.js. It provides features like job events, job retries, and job progress tracking. Kue is similar to Bull but offers a different API and feature set. It does not provide the same level of integration with Google Cloud services as @google-cloud/tasks.
