Show HN: Tasqueue – A simple, customisable distributed job/worker in Go

Noice! I am keen to give this a go.. the broker code are small and seems easy enough to implement for different backends.

having a quick glance, it does remind me a lot of que-go (https://github.com/bgentry/que-go) that is inspired by similar project written in ruby which use postgresql lock cleverly to take tasks from queue, work on it and release lock.

I liked the implementation so much and how easy it was to write worker for it, i ended up modifying it to use go channel (https://github.com/santrancisco/cque) as queue for worker task.. i used it in several personal projects over the years for cli tools that can leverage from having async tasks/jobs handle by workers.

Zerodha makes good software (I’m a huge fan of a bunch of their projects, like Listmonk[0]), excited to check this out, even though I don’t use Go often.

Like their use of NATS as well.

Although asynq[0] seems to cover more serious usecases and has more interfaces, I like its simplicity.

Is this a more advanced version of Tunny [0]?
