Pheanstalk is a fully typed PHP 8.1+ client library for the beanstalkd work queue server. It provides producer and consumer APIs for putting, reserving, releasing, and managing jobs across tubes.

Use cases

• queue background jobs from a PHP app using beanstalkd
• build a PHP worker that reserves and processes jobs
• delay job execution with priorities and delays
• run long-running queue consumers under systemd
• retry failed jobs by releasing them back to the queue

When to choose

• your PHP application uses beanstalkd as its job queue
• you need a strictly typed, actively maintained beanstalkd client for PHP 8.1+
• you want a pure-PHP client with no heavy dependencies

When to avoid

• you use a different queue backend like Redis, RabbitMQ, or SQS
• your project runs on PHP below 8.1
• you need a queue server itself rather than a client
