Oraq (Ordered redis asynchronous queue) is a cross-process, cross-server, fast, reliable and lightweight redis-based async queue for Node.js (current stable version 0.2.4). It supports both queue (FIFO order) and limiter (rate limiting) modes, with features like concurrency control, job timeout, ping keep-alive, and LIFO support. Key differentiators: lightweight with minimal dependencies (only ioredis), simple API using a single Oraq class, and compatibility with Node.js >=7.6.0. Not actively maintained; last release in 2019.

Oraq
✓ const Oraq = require('oraq')
CommonJS usage; no default ESM export available.
Oraq (default import)
✓ import Oraq = require('oraq')
✗ import Oraq from 'oraq'
Package does not have a default ESM export; use require or TypeScript import = require().

Creates an Oraq queue with concurrency 1 and processes multiple time-delayed jobs, demonstrating basic job limiting.

const Oraq = require('oraq'); const oraq = new Oraq({ id: 'myQueue', concurrency: 1, connection: { host: 'localhost', port: 6379 } // adjust for your Redis }); const job = ms => new Promise(resolve => setTimeout(() => resolve(ms), ms)); Promise.all([ 14000, 8000, 10000, 7000 ].map(delay => oraq.limit(job, { jobData: delay }))) .then(jobResults => console.log(jobResults));
Debug
Known issues
gotchaWhen mode is 'queue', job order is preserved. When mode is 'limiter', order is not guaranteed but rate limiting is applied.
fix
Set mode explicitly: new Oraq({ mode: 'queue' }) for FIFO order.
affects: >=0.0.0
gotchaJob timeout resets on each ping; if a job takes longer than timeout, it will be considered failed and removed.
fix
Adjust timeout and ping options to match job duration.
affects: >=0.0.0
deprecatedNo breaking changes known, but package is in maintenance mode with no updates since 2019.
fix
Consider migrating to actively maintained alternatives like Bull or BullMQ.
affects: >=0.0.0
Errors
Common errors & fixes
Oraq is not defined
Using import Oraq from 'oraq' instead of require('oraq')
fix
Use const Oraq = require('oraq'); or import Oraq = require('oraq') with TypeScript.
Error: The job "..." timed out.
Job execution exceeded the timeout option (default 2 hours).
fix
Increase timeout in constructor options or ensure job completes within the timeout period.
