What are the best Background Jobs Tools?

Kafka, RabbitMQ, Amazon SQS, Celery, and Sidekiq are the most popular tools in the category “Background Jobs”. “High-throughput” is the primary reason developers pick Kafka over its competitors, while “It's fast and it works with good metrics/monitoring” is the reason why RabbitMQ was chosen.
