Workq is a standalone job scheduling and processing server written in Go that communicates over a simple text-based TCP protocol. It supports synchronous and asynchronous job execution, adhoc scheduling at future times, priorities, retries, and per-job TTL/TTR limits with in-memory storage plus a persistent command log.
Use cases
- schedule one-time jobs at a future time
- run background jobs with multiple workers
- retry failed jobs automatically
- distribute work across workers in any language
- run a job and wait for its result synchronously
- add concurrency to languages without built-in async support
When to choose
- you need a lightweight, language-agnostic job server with a simple text protocol
- you want adhoc one-time scheduling without building polling logic into a datastore
- you need per-job retry, TTL, and timeout controls out of the box
When to avoid
- you need a mature, actively maintained project - the latest release is from 2018 and it is marked alpha
- you need durable disk-backed queues with strong persistence guarantees
- you need a large ecosystem of client libraries and community support like RabbitMQ or Redis-based queues
