azync

Overview

A distributed task queue written in Zig.

Inspired by asynq and Celery

azync aims to provide a fast, minimal, and type-safe task processing system.

Features (planned)

• Producer/Consumer APIs — simple client for enqueuing tasks, and worker abstraction for consuming them.
• Task Types — strongly typed payloads with encoding/decoding support.
• Queues & Priorities — multiple named queues, with priority handling.
• Retries & Error Handling — configurable retry policy, dead-letter queues.
• Scheduling — delayed tasks, periodic scheduling (cron-like).
• Metrics & Observability — Prometheus metrics, structured logs.
• Cluster Mode — support for scaling workers horizontally with Redis as the broker.
