durabilityb01
Durable by default
Every job is committed before it starts. Deploys, network partitions and that one aggressive autoscaler cannot make it disappear.
WAL-backed queue● always on
$ npx nightshift init --sleep
Ship at night.Sleep through it.
Durable background jobs, cron and queues for teams who would rather not be paged at 3am. One binary, zero ceremony, and a queue that remembers what it was doing.

Infrastructure you can
Infrastructure you can
forget about.
Six decisions we already made so you don't have to. Boring where it matters, sharp where it counts.
schedulingb02
Cron that speaks time
IANA timezones, DST, jitter and overlap protection. Your 2am report stays at 2am, wherever the server thinks it lives.
464 timezones● DST-aware
resilienceb03
Retries with judgement
Exponential backoff, jitter, dead-letter queues and one-click replay. Retry the things that deserve it, not the things that don't.
max 100 attempts● configurable
observabilityb04
Traces for every job
Logs, spans, attempts and the exact payload that caused the problem — searchable by job, user or trace ID.
OTel native● included
scaleb05
Scale without ceremony
One million concurrent workers, backpressure all the way down, and no cron server to keep alive on a Sunday.
1M concurrency● tested
portabilityb06
Runs where you run
Cloud, your VPC, or a laptop on a train. One static binary, no runtime, no external dependencies, no lock-in.

02 / Quickstart
One primitive.
One primitive.
Zero magic.
Define a job in the language you already use. Nightshift handles the queue, the retries, the schedule and the part where you get woken up at 3am.
- Typed payloads end to end — no more stringly-typed queues.
- Local dev with the same semantics as production.
- Deploy anywhere in under a minute.

Boring on purpose.
Uptime is a feature. We measure it out loud, publish it, and never hide a bad afternoon.

Customer testimonial
We deleted four thousand lines of queue code. The pager hasn't gone off since. I'm not sure what to do with my evenings now.
