RQ – simple Python library

RQ (Redis Queue) is a simple Python library for queueing jobs and processing them in the background with workers.

It is backed by Redis or Valkey and is designed to have a low barrier to entry while scaling incredibly well for large applications. It can be integrated into your web stack easily, making it suitable for projects of any size—from simple applications to high-volume enterprise systems.

A job is a Python object, representing a function that is invoked asynchronously in a worker (background) process. Any Python function can be invoked asynchronously, by simply pushing a reference to the function and its arguments onto a queue. This is called enqueueing.

This is free and open source software.
