RQ scales surprisingly well and for certain types of projects is a nice lightweight alternative compared to more complicated job queues such as Celery.

  Yeah when I was looking at queues I was put off by Celery since somewhere in its docs or a tutorial high up in the Google results it was suggested to use both redis and RabbitMQ as some sort of brokers/results stores rather than just one of those to handle both. I'm sure there were good reasons for that, but I was looking for something simple and not to learn multiple new technologies so in terms of simplicity RQ (which uses redis for everything) is pretty hard to beat.

    for a simple queue the broker is the only important part. i like celery and have projects in multiple languages using rabbitmq.
