workq | Schedule adhoc one-time jobs at a future UTC time | Job Scheduling library

workq is a Go library typically used in Data Processing, Job Scheduling applications. workq has no bugs, it has no vulnerabilities, it has a Weak Copyleft License and it has medium support. You can download it from GitHub.

Schedule adhoc one-time jobs at a future UTC time. Workq can be used as a timer for any application event scheduling. Compare this to the usual alternative of building scheduling schema into an existing datastore, writing a custom worker to poll the datastore, and finally building in locking & state management to manage dispatching. In Workq, you schedule the job, lease the job, and complete the job. Workq can enable concurrency especially in languages that do not have built-in concurrency. Background multiple jobs, process them with multiple workers, and retrieve results from within a single process. Workq will retry jobs from TTR (time-to-run) timeouts and/or from explicit job failures through the max-attempts and max-fails flags. Retry is a job execution specification and does not require any custom worker logic. Distribute work to multiple workers using Workq as the coordinator. In addition, Workq is language agnostic, submit a job from one language and process it in another. Workq can also naturally store job execution results for later retrieval up to the job's TTL.
