## What it is
rq-dashboard is a lightweight Flask-based web front-end for monitoring RQ (Redis Queue) queues, jobs, and workers in realtime. It can be installed from PyPI or run via Docker and configured through CLI options or environment variables.

## Use cases
- monitor RQ job queues in a web browser
- view failed jobs and requeue them
- check status of RQ workers in realtime
- inspect queued jobs across multiple Redis instances
- debug background task processing in a Python app

## When to choose
- you use RQ for background jobs and need a visual monitoring dashboard
- you want a lightweight, self-hosted queue UI installable via pip or Docker
- you need to inspect and manage jobs and workers across multiple Redis connections

## When to avoid
- you use Celery or another non-RQ job queue
- you need a full metrics/alerting platform rather than a queue dashboard
- you require a stable 1.0 release and cannot tolerate beta-stage software
