Zizq

Zizq (/zɪsk/) is a fast and durable job queue packed into a single native binary, built on an embedded LSM database — not on Redis, and not on your RDBMS.

The server runs as a straightforward HTTP/2 and HTTP/1.1 API, with easy-to-use clients currently implemented in Node.js, Ruby, Elixir and Rust (and others planned soon).

Features

• Durable and atomic job queues
• Easy to use HTTP/1.1 and HTTP/2 API with JSON or MessagePack
• Cross-language job enqueueing and execution
• Unlimited named queues

• Scheduled jobs
• Configurable backoff/retry policies
• Configurable job retention policies

• Cron (recurring jobs) scheduling
• Batched job support (folded/merged enqueues)
