I love Task Queues. We are using them extensively. Also, they give you deduplication for free and a lot of other nice features like delayed tasks storing tasks for up to 30 days extremely detailed rate limits etc.

GCP is really under rated in this regard.

Are there any open source implementations of Task Queues? It feels like something that has been missing for years.

Yea, this is the only thing I don't like about them, that I can't test them locally.

More generally, is there something like a "on prem cloud" which just replicates say Cloud Tasks (but also other Cloud Apis) using local compute as well as say a local db. For testing / development this would be very cool.

I implemented my tasks as cloud functions, so I just test Tasks the same way I tested functions... by calling the handler function directly.
