The sophisticated solution to this problem is Temporal, but yes, I also use an async task queue frequently because it's very easy to roll one's own.

Recently had a conversation with a coworker, which thought temporal was too complex for a first implementation. However after looking at the documentation it seems that the tech is very approachable. What makes using temporal complex ?
Perhaps he found the amount of infra required to use it substantial. You can run an async task queue on SQLite with a loop in any language. Temporal has an app sdk etc etc.
I do not agree that it is complex but that’s what I’d hypothesize as why someone would think that.
