Asynq is a Go library for queuing tasks and processing them asynchronously via workers. It is powered by Redis and designed to be scalable and easy to get started.

A high-level overview of how Asynq works:

• The client puts the task in the queue
• The server pulls tasks from the queue and starts a worker coroutine for each task
• Tasks are processed concurrently by multiple workers

Task queues are used as a mechanism for distributing work across multiple machines. A system can consist of multiple worker servers and agents, giving way to high availability and horizontal scaling.

Stability and Compatibility

Status: The library is currently undergoing heavy development, with frequent, breaking API changes.

IMPORTANT NOTE: The current major version is zero (v0.xx) to accommodate rapid development and rapid iteration while getting early feedback from users (thanks for feedback on the API!). The public API may change without a major version update prior to the v1.0.0 release.
