create a set of criteria for what we need in a queue. Survey js ecosystem for the best npm package

[TimDaub]

criteria:

• we want to push as many messages as we want to the queue and Javascript shouldn't run out of heap memory space
  • if the queue utilizes disk space for persitence and to reduce memory load, then we want to have flexibility on the storage backend. Additionally, the storage backend must be embedded. It must not be e.g. Postgres or redis that runs on an entirely different process
• the queue should be very durable, well tested, and robust. It should never have a bug; rather we should continuously find that our software has bugs and not the queue
• The queue must allow configuring the concurrency using an integer
• The queue should use async/await and now event listeners or promise
• The queue's open source maintainer community should be active and bugs should be solved quickly
