This library is a Queueing Aystem abstraction layer. It enables you to implement any queueing system in your application, without having to depend on the actual implementation of the queueing system you choose.

**Attention**: You will need a Process Control System like [supervisord](http://supervisord.org/) to keep your workers going.

Use Case
--------

[](#use-case)

***Queueing system***

Say you want to notify multiple users when a new comment is placed on a forum thread. Sending these email on the spot might slow down your application significantly when many emails need to be send. When using a Queueing System you can delay this action by adding the Jobs to a Queue. A worker will pick up these Jobs asynchronously from you web process. This way your application is future proof and you will have a much easier time scaling in the future.

***Library***

When you decide to use this library, you do not depend on the queueing system implementation. You can plug the driver of your choice. You might choose a basic mysql version to get started and when you need more performance go for something like [beanstalkd](http://kr.github.io/beanstalkd/) or [RabbitMQ](https://www.rabbitmq.com/).
