A asyncbase docs pricing github sign in queues for when you're vibe-coding at 2am , not provisioning IAM Redis-grade queues with Supabase-grade DX. One SDK call, you get retries, DLQ, idempotency, FIFO, and a live dashboard. No CloudWatch. No IAM. Free forever for side projects.
# install
$ npm i @asyncbase/sdk
// enqueue
import { AsyncBase } from "@asyncbase/sdk"
const ab = new AsyncBase ({ apiKey: process.env.ASYNCBASE_KEY! })
await ab.queue ("emails" ).send ({
payload: { to: "jane@example.com" , subject: "hello" },
delay: "30s" ,
})
// consume with auto-retry + DLQ
for await (const msg of ab.queue ("emails" ).consume ()) {
try { await send (msg.payload); await msg.ack () }
catch { await msg.nack () } // auto exp-backoff, DLQ after 3
}
// why not just use sqs
the three queue pains, solved by default no AWS console expedition No IAM policies, no VPC, no CloudWatch. Signup to first enqueue in 60 seconds. Keep Bearer tokens in your existing secret manager.
retries + DLQ ship in the box Exponential backoff out of the box. After N failures, messages land in the DLQ with a UI to inspect and redrive. No Lambda glue required.
idempotency + FIFO dedup Idempotency-Key header deduplicates enqueues for 24h. FIFO groups guarantee order per key with 5-min dedup window, SQS-style.
a dashboard you'll open Live queue depth, DLQ redrive buttons, API-key rotation. Built for debugging at 2am without clicking through 12 AWS panels.
