Nice. We built a mysql-backed queue with nearly identical properties but it's not especially efficient. It does 10+ jobs per second per worker, but with locking this starts to cause InnoDB concurrency problems. Not insurmountable, but moving to a Redis-backed approach seems like a great option when our current queue can no longer keep up. Really glad to have this approach proven by GitHub.
