SQLite for local dev without Redis, but Trigger.dev and Inngest already own this space.

Strengths

•Adapter pattern lets you swap SQLite, Postgres, or Redis without rewriting job code.
•File-based job discovery mirrors Next.js routes convention for familiar DX.
•Zero external infrastructure needed for local development with SQLite backend.

Weaknesses

•Managed alternatives like Trigger.dev and Inngest offer more features out of box.

Graph semantics on Postgres without Neo4j infra overhead or hand-rolled boilerplate.
