django-rq

We use RQ[0], it has Redis as a dependency. It’s pretty straightforward and we’re very happy with it. If you are using Django you may want to look at Django RQ[1] as well. RQ has built in scheduling capabilities these days, but historically it did not so we used (and still use) RQ Scheduler[2] which I think still has some advantages over the built in stuff.

I love the simplicity of this idea because for lots of sites the database works just fine as a queue backend and it reduces the amount of infrastructure needed. I currently use https://github.com/dabapps/django-db-queue for https://devmarks.io which also uses the database to store tasks instead of a dedicated queue infrastructure. `Django Q` also has an option to use the database, but I haven't tested it at all: https://django-q.readthedocs.io/en/latest/configure.html#orm. And if you are already running `redis` for your site, https://github.com/rq/django-rq is another option. The one benefit of this package is that it is async-first which will be beneficial as Django continually adds in more async capabilities. Nice work! I'm looking forward to trying this out and seeing how it works!
