What it is AI-extracted, prompt v1, taxonomy v1, 2026-08-30, confidence not recorded

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
