A Go library for asynchronous task/job queues with pluggable backends including Redis, AWS SQS, IronMQ, and in-memory. It turns Go functions into background tasks with automatic retries, rate limiting, deduplication, and scaling workers.
Use cases
- run background jobs in go
- async task queue with redis backend
- process sqs messages from golang
- schedule deferred tasks in go
- deduplicate and retry failed jobs
- rate limit background workers
When to choose
- you need a Go-native task queue with multiple broker backends
- you want built-in retries, rate limiting, and message deduplication
- you already use go-redis or AWS SQS and want a consistent task API
When to avoid
- you need a language-agnostic job server with a web UI like Celery or Sidekiq
- you only need simple goroutine pools without persistence
- your stack is not Go
