Sandglass is a distributed, horizontally scalable, persistent message queue that orders messages by time. It supports asynchronous task execution and message scheduling, making it usable as a task queue.
Use cases
- run a distributed message queue with time-ordered delivery
- schedule messages to be consumed in the future
- build an asynchronous task queue with automatic redelivery
- track consumer offsets with ack/nack per message
- scale messaging horizontally across multiple nodes
When to choose
- you need a time-sorted, persistent message queue with horizontal scalability
- you want delayed message delivery and per-message acknowledgements
- you need a language-agnostic queue with a Go client and CLI
When to avoid
- you need a production-ready, actively maintained system - the project is an experimental prototype with no recent releases
- you need a mature ecosystem like Kafka, NATS, or RabbitMQ
- you require guaranteed long-term API stability
