## What it is
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

## Facets
- artifact type: service
- maturity: maintenance
- function: message-queue, scheduling, http-server
- domain: backend, microservices
- platform: go, self-hosted
- tags: delay-queue, redis, delayed-jobs, task-scheduling, http-api, golang, messaging, linux, docker
