Que-go is a fully interoperable Golang port of Chris Hanks' Ruby Que queuing library for PostgreSQL. Que uses PostgreSQL's advisory locks for speed and reliability.
Because que-go is an interoperable port of Que, you can enqueue jobs in Ruby (i.e. from a Rails app) and write your workers in Go. Or if you have a limited set of jobs that you want to write in Go, you can leave most of your workers in Ruby and just add a few Go workers on a different queue name. Or you can just write everything in Go :)
This package uses the pgx Go PostgreSQL driver rather than the more popular pq. Because Que uses session-level advisory locks, we have to hold the same connection throughout the process of getting a job, working it, deleting it, and removing the lock.
Pq and the built-in database/sql interfaces do not offer this functionality, so we'd have to implement our own connection pool. Fortunately, pgx already has a perfectly usable one built for us. Even better, it offers better performance than pq due largely to its use of binary encoding.
