About Zizq
Zizq is a fast, zero-dependency job queue packed into single binary, which works in any stack and functions across programming language boundaries. It provides built-in persistence through a LSM-tree database to ensure jobs are not lost and includes visibility features to monitor queue status. Designed for simplicity and performance, Zizq allows engineers to manage background jobs on the queue using flexible filters, such as jq-style expressions. It includes pro features designed for applications operating at scale, such as batched jobs where successive enqueues can be automatically folded together into a single larger batch job, keeping both enqueues and workers simple while increasing processing efficiency.

A zero-dependency, single-binary queue with LSM-tree persistence is appealing for teams that do not want another service to operate. How do retries, visibility timeouts and poison jobs behave after a worker crashes?
@russlan great question. Workers connect to the Zizq API over a persistent streaming connection. The server detects disconnects and returns jobs to the queue (status change) if a worker is lost. There is no lease expiry. Just heartbeats.
Very excited to announce Zizq. It's based on real world experience building and operating systems at scale. Zizq aims to solve the kinds of problems apps end up writing complex code to solve at scale.
