Hi folks,
For anyone that might find it useful - I recently released GenQueue. An adapter based approach to queues/job queues.
I sometimes find myself writing wrappers for the various forms of job enqueuing within my applications to ensure it is not tied to a specific library/platform. This can typically mean 2 types of wrappers:
- Some form of “durable jobs” (backed by Redis, RabbitMQ, etc)
- Some form of “simple jobs” (somewhere between a Task, and the above)
Anyways - GenQueue helps solve this with a a few lines of code. It creates a common API as well as a unified form of testing.
Hope some can find it useful.
Current adapters:
- GenQueue Exq - Redis-backed job queue.
- GenQueue TaskBunny - RabbitMQ-backed job queue.
- GenQueue Toniq - Redis-backed job queue.
- GenQueue Verk - Redis-backed job queue.
- GenQueue OPQ - GenStage-based job queue.

I just wanted to thank you for this; we’ve just implemented it with a wrapper around OPQ in order to implement a stable supervision tree for OPQ and its workers. Aside from figuring a few things out related to how jobs are implemented vs raw OPQ, GenQueue was super simple to get running.
