Relay - A queue that doesn't just run your jobs
by•
Relay runs your background jobs for Node.js — Postgres and Redis underneath. When a job fails, the AI layer returns the root cause in plain English, a confidence score, and a suggested fix. It even predicts overload before it happens.

Hey everyone 👋
I built Relay solo — it's an open-source background job queue with an AI layer on top.
The problem I kept running into: a job fails at 2am, and all you get is a stack trace. No context, no "why", just noise.
So Relay's AI layer reads the failure and gives you the actual root cause in plain English, a confidence score, and a suggested fix — before you even open the logs. There's also an AI agent that can act on jobs (retry, pause, resume), but only with your explicit approval — nothing happens without a human in the loop.
Built on Postgres + Redis, fully open-source. Would love your feedback — first time launching here!
