The Sidequest.js Manifesto

Your Stack. Your Rules.

In today’s hyper-competitive landscape, scaling Node.js applications is no longer just about getting jobs done — it’s about how you get them done. Every technology choice you make affects your governance, costs, compliance, and the ability to innovate confidently without fear of vendor lock-in.

We built Sidequest.js with one goal in mind:
to give engineering teams full control of their distributed jobs and task queues, while staying cloud-agnostic and independent.

Why Sidequest.js exists

Too often, job processing is treated as an afterthought — patched into apps with whatever hosted service is “good enough.” But as your business grows, so do your needs for observability, flexibility, and predictability.

That’s where many teams hit a wall.
That’s where Sidequest.js shines.

We believe that engineering teams deserve a system designed for:

✅ Effortless distributed jobs
Scaling your queues across environments shouldn’t come with loss of control or skyrocketing operational complexity.

✅ Infrastructure autonomy
Run Sidequest.js anywhere — on your cloud, on-premises, hybrid — with no forced dependencies, no vendor lock-in, and the freedom to migrate when it makes sense for your business.

✅ Efficiency by design
Optimize costs and risks while ensuring long-term predictability and ROI, with an open-core foundation that can scale from startups to enterprises.

✅ Clarity through a beautiful dashboard
Monitor, control, and analyze your queues and jobs in real time with an intuitive web dashboard — because visibility is as important as execution.

The philosophy

We stand for enterprise-grade, open-core software done right.
We don’t believe in bait-and-switch SaaS traps.
We don’t believe in making you dependent on our cloud.
We believe in giving you the tools to own your infrastructure — while still offering premium capabilities for teams that want them.

Join the journey

Whether you’re a startup tired of cloud lock-in or an enterprise seeking more governance and visibility, Sidequest.js is here to help you build with confidence.
