SQJobs v0.7.1 documentation

SQJobs (simple queue jobs) is a Python library for queueing jobs and processing them using background workers and SQS as the broker.

Some of it features are:

• It follows a KISS principle, it does one thing and only one thing: execute jobs.
• The source code is really simple and easy to debug.
• Jobs execution is fast (there are no boilerplate around the jobs).
• It can scale horizontally (workers don’t store any state inside the machines).
• New brokers can be created (now it only supports SQS from Amazon).
