I am using Beanstalkd, it is small and fast and you just apt-get it on Debian.

However, I have noticed that oftentimes devs are using queues where Workflow Engines would be a better fit.

If your message processing time is in tens of seconds – talk to your local Workflow Engine professional (:

In that case, any suggestions if the answer was looking for workflow engines? Ideally something that will work for no-person-in-the-middle workloads in the tens of seconds range as well as person-making-a-decision workflows that can live for anywhere between minutes and months?

Temporal if you do not want vendor locks.

AWS Step Functions or GCP Workflows if you are on the cloud.

A classic. Not something I personally use these days, but I think just as a piece of software it is an eternally good example of something simple, powerful, well-engineered, pleasant to use, and widely-compatible, all at the same time
