asynq

We have hosted the application asynq in order to run this application in our online workstations with Wine or directly.

Quick description about asynq:

Asynq is a Go library for queueing tasks and processing them asynchronously with workers. It's backed by Redis and is designed to be scalable yet easy to get started. Client puts tasks on a queue. Server pulls tasks off queues and starts a worker goroutine for each task. Tasks are processed concurrently by multiple workers. Task queues are used as a mechanism to distribute work across multiple machines. A system can consist of multiple worker servers and brokers, giving way to high availability and horizontal scaling. Ability to pause queue to stop processing tasks from the queue. Periodic Tasks. Support Redis Cluster for automatic sharding and high availability. Support Redis Sentinels for high availability. Integration with Prometheus to collect and visualize queue metrics. Web UI to inspect and remote-control queues and tasks. CLI to inspect and remote-control queues and tasks.

Features:

• Guaranteed at least one execution of a task
• Scheduling of tasks
• Retries of failed tasks
• Automatic recovery of tasks in the event of a worker crash
• Low latency to add a task since writes are fast in Redis
• Allow aggregating group of tasks to batch multiple successive operations

Programming Language: Go.
