php-resque is a PHP port of GitHub's Resque library for creating Redis-backed background jobs, queueing them, and processing them with forked workers. It supports distributed workers, queue priorities, job status tracking, and failure handling.

Use cases

• run background jobs in a PHP app
• queue emails or slow tasks off the request cycle
• process jobs across multiple worker machines
• prioritize tasks with multiple Redis-backed queues
• track the status of queued jobs
• retry or mark failed background jobs

When to choose

• you have a PHP application needing Redis-backed background job processing
• you want compatibility with the Ruby Resque data format and tooling
• you need distributed workers with forking to survive memory leaks

When to avoid

• you need a modern actively developed queue with async support (e.g., Laravel Horizon, Symfony Messenger)
• your stack is not PHP
• you want a built-in web UI for queue monitoring
