AintQ

AintQ Is Not Task Queue - a Python asyncio task queue on PostgreSQL.

• Free software: BSD license
• Documentation: https://aintq.readthedocs.io.

Features

AintQ is not quite a traditional task queue like Celery. It runs no workers, instead it sends HTTP requests to your own web server to execute the tasks. The purpose of AintQ is to provide a robust broker to queue and trigger task execution, while being as compact as possible.

• Use PostgreSQL as a broker and your own web server as worker, for less moving parts
• AintQ server simply loads tasks from the broker, sends HTTP requests and stores the response
• AintQ server may run standalone or inside your asyncio web server
• Easy to use client API to create tasks and retrieve results
• Support cron-like scheduled repeating tasks
• Support retrying, priority and dependency
• Focus on consistency, stability and robustness
• Provide real-time statistics API

AintQ is a very new project and under construction. Even though we internally use similar code in some production environment, AintQ is a complete rewrite and may probably bite your nose off before it gets stabilized.
