Work queues
Send a job to competing consumers. Use visibility timeouts, acknowledgements, retries, and dead-letter queues to handle failures.
PlainQ Cloud gives your organization a hosted workspace for reliable work queues and topic-based Pub/Sub. Organize resources by team, connect your applications through an HTTP API, and let PlainQ run the infrastructure.
Work queues
Send a job to competing consumers. Use visibility timeouts, acknowledgements, retries, and dead-letter queues to handle failures.
Pub/Sub
Publish an event once and deliver a durable copy to every connected queue. Process each queue independently.
Read the core concepts to understand queues, messages, visibility timeouts, retries, and dead-letter queues.
PlainQ is also available as an open-source message broker. See installation and the self-hosted quickstart if you want to run it on your own infrastructure. Source code is available on GitHub.
