This would be so immensely useful. I’d estimate that there are so many cases where the producer is Node or Rails and the consumer is Python.

River ( https://riverqueue.com ) is a Postgres background job engine written in Go, which also has insert only clients in other languages. Currently we have these for Ruby and Python:

This is the exact use case I'm running into right now. I've been looking at BullMQ some it has good typescript support, and is working towards a 1.0 for python. But, I have tried it out in a production stack yet

We have been using bullmq in production for just over a year. It is a piece of technology that our team doesn't have to think about, which is pretty much all I could ask for.

We did end up adding some additional generics which allows us to get strong typing between producers and consumers. That I think has been a key piece of making it easy to use and avoiding dumb mistakes.
