## What it is
A Yii2 framework extension for running tasks asynchronously via queues, with drivers for DB, Redis, RabbitMQ/AMQP, Beanstalk, ActiveMQ, and Gearman. Jobs are defined as PHP classes and executed via console worker commands, with support for delayed execution.

## Use cases
- run background jobs asynchronously in a yii2 app
- send emails or process files without blocking requests
- delay a task to run after a few minutes
- process image downloads in a worker queue
- offload slow tasks from web requests to a queue worker

## When to choose
- you use the Yii2 framework and need async task processing
- you want a unified queue API across multiple backends like Redis, RabbitMQ, or DB
- you need delayed/scheduled job execution with console workers

## When to avoid
- you use Laravel or Symfony (use their native queue systems)
- you need a standalone queue broker rather than a framework integration
- your project runs PHP below 8.3
