PhxQueue is a high-availability, high-throughput distributed queue built on the Paxos consensus protocol, developed by Tencent and used in production at WeChat. It guarantees At-Least-Once delivery with features like strictly ordered dequeue, multiple consumer groups, and multi-region deployment.
Use cases
- run a reliable distributed message queue
- guarantee at-least-once message delivery
- build ordered task queues for payment systems
- deploy a Paxos-based queue across regions
- replay consumed messages from a queue
- balance consumers across a distributed queue
When to choose
- you need strong consistency and reliability backed by Paxos consensus
- you require strictly ordered dequeue with at-least-once delivery guarantees
- you operate at WeChat-scale throughput and need battle-tested infrastructure
- you need multi-region deployment for queue storage
When to avoid
- you want a lightweight queue with simple setup - PhxQueue has heavy C++ build dependencies
- you need Kafka/RabbitMQ ecosystem tooling and broad community support
- your project targets Windows or macOS - it is Linux-oriented
- you need a actively evolving project - development activity has slowed
