GeezerVison is showing strait.dev — Strait - Open Source Job Orchestration

Runtime control for async products

Take control of every job, workflow, and AI agent run.

Strait gives teams one durable runtime for retries, queues, approvals, cost limits, and observability. Open-source, self-hostable, written in Go.

The platform

One platform for jobs, workflows, and agents.

Queue, orchestrate, and observe every async workload, without gluing four systems together.

queue.lock.acquired

Queue without a broker.

Strait uses PostgreSQL advisory locks to provide a durable, transactional job queue. No Redis, no RabbitMQ, no SQS — just the database you already run.

Queue mechanism

Postgres-backed advisory locks

Scheduling

Cron expressions + one-off

Pricing

Start with the full runtime. Pay when scale becomes the problem.

Plans do not gate the core orchestration model. They add operating room: more projects, longer retention, governance, support, and managed compute credit.

Billing mechanics

Free: No card. Enough room to test a real queue.
Paid: Your subscription turns into managed compute credit.
Scale: $0.20 per 1,000 extra runs on paid plans.

Free is for proving the shape. Pro and Scale are for teams that need more concurrency, retention, approval gates, auditability, and support.

Compare all limits

Deploy path

Run your first job in 5 minutes.

Start on Free with no credit card. Keep the same runtime when production needs more concurrency, retention, and approvals.
