A Redis-based delay queue service written in Go, inspired by Youzan's delay queue design. It exposes an HTTP API for pushing delayed jobs and long-polling consumers, using Redis sorted sets to trigger tasks when their execution time arrives.

Use cases

• automatically close orders unpaid after 30 minutes
• auto-approve reviews 5 days after order completion
• send membership expiry reminder SMS 15 and 3 days before
• implement Alipay-style async notification retry intervals
• schedule delayed background jobs with Redis
• retry failed webhook notifications with increasing delays

When to choose

• you need delayed task execution backed only by Redis without extra infrastructure
• you want a simple HTTP API for pushing and polling delayed jobs
• you need retry patterns with increasing intervals like payment notification callbacks

When to avoid

• you need a full-featured message broker with high throughput like Kafka or RabbitMQ
• you cannot tolerate per-second polling granularity for task triggering
• you need persistent job storage beyond Redis or complex routing/topology features
