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
