Processing
----------

[](#processing)

Processing is a PHP library to asynchronously queue and process background jobs. It uses redis as its storage engine but provides the necessary extension points for other implementations.

[![Build Status](https://camo.githubusercontent.com/49dc2f45e712cdf2777665e442dbfafa7a02387baa893790b99e986448278dd4/68747470733a2f2f7365637572652e7472617669732d63692e6f72672f6d617a656e2f70726f63657373696e672e706e673f6272616e63683d6d6173746572)](http://travis-ci.org/mazen/processing)

Features:

- Written in PHP 5.3
