Exq is a job processing library compatible with Resque / Sidekiq for the Elixir language. Exq uses Redis as a store for background processing jobs. Exq handles concurrency, job persistence, job retries, reliable queueing and tracking so you don't have to. Jobs are persistent so they would survive across node restarts. You can use multiple Erlang nodes to process from the same pool of jobs. Exq uses a format that is Resque/Sidekiq compatible. This means you can use it to integrate with existing Rails / Django projects that also use a background job that's Resque compatible - typically with little or no changes needed to your existing apps. However, you can also use Exq standalone. You can also use the Sidekiq UI to view job statuses, as Exq is compatible with the Sidekiq stats format. You can run both Exq and Toniq in the same app for different workers. Exq supports uncapped amount of jobs running, or also allows a max limit per queue.

Features

  • Exq tracks several stats including failed busy, and processed jobs
  • Exq supports configurable middleware for customization / plugins
  • Exq supports job retries with exponential backoff
  • Exq provides an optional web UI that you can use to view several stats as well as rate of job processing
  • When shutting down Exq will attempt to let workers terminate gracefully, with a configurable timeout
  • There is no time limit to how long a job can run for
