Honeydew 💪🏻🍈

Honeydew ("Honey, do!") is a pluggable job queue and worker pool for Elixir, focused on at-least-once execution.

defmodule MyWorker do
  def do_a_thing do
    IO.puts "doing a thing!"
  end
end

:ok = Honeydew.start_queue(:my_queue)
:ok = Honeydew.start_workers(:my_queue, MyWorker)

:do_a_thing |> Honeydew.async(:my_queue)

# => "doing a thing!"

Isolation

• Jobs are run in isolated one-time-use processes.
• Optionally stores immutable state loaned to each worker (a database connection, for example).
• Initialized Worker

Strong Job Custody

• Jobs don't leave the queue until either they succeed, are explicitly abandoned or are moved to another queue.
• Workers are issued only one job at a time, no batching.
