## AI overview

A tutorial on implementing queueing with pg-boss, an NPM library that provides background processing and reliable asynchronous execution for Node.js applications using PostgreSQL for queue storage and management.

## Source excerpt

This second article about queueing without a queue focuses on implementation based on PostgreSQL. This solution moves the queue implementation from the node system to the database, where it has dedicated storage to save the queues' status. The leading actor of this post will be pg-boss, an NPM library that implements the queue system thanks...
