Console’s review

· Reviewed by David Mytton

What we like

At least once execution of tasks by workers. Multiple queues with support for varying priority. Backed by Redis for low latency inserts. Timeout and deadline per task and aggregation of groups of tasks. Supports scheduling and retries. Optional web UI and observability via Prometheus. CLI to manage queues remotely.

Tradeoffs

Advertises potential problems with Redis Cluster due to use of Lua scripts.
