TaskTiger is a Python task queue library backed by Redis, supporting per-task subprocess forking, unique queues, task locking, and flexible retry strategies. It is developed and maintained by Close.
Use cases
- run background jobs in python with redis
- queue tasks with retry and exponential backoff
- deduplicate queued tasks with unique queues
- prevent concurrent execution of tasks with the same arguments
- process per-customer subqueues fairly
- run tasks in isolated subprocesses with hard time limits
When to choose
- you need a Redis-backed Python task queue with forked workers and hard timeouts
- you want unique queues or task locks to avoid duplicate work
- you need flexible retry intervals and subqueue routing
When to avoid
- you need a distributed task scheduler across many machines without Redis
- you want a broker-agnostic queue supporting RabbitMQ or SQS
- your stack is not Python
