Installation

varmq needs Go 1.24 or newer. Add it to your module with go get, then import it. Pick the variant you need:

Install · go get

Three install variants as tabs: varmq alone, varmq with the Redis adapter redisq, and varmq with the SQLite adapter sqliteq. Each tab shows the go get command and the import, and each has a copy button.

varmq+ Redis+ SQLite

The in-memory worker pool, queues and topics.

terminalCopy

go get github.com/goptics/varmq

main.goCopy

import "github.com/goptics/varmq"

Adds redisq, for persistent and distributed queues in Redis.

terminalCopy

go get github.com/goptics/varmq github.com/goptics/redisq

main.goCopy

import (
	"github.com/goptics/redisq"
	"github.com/goptics/varmq"
)

Adds sqliteq, for persistent queues in SQLite files.

terminalCopy

go get github.com/goptics/varmq github.com/goptics/sqliteq

main.goCopy

import (
	"github.com/goptics/sqliteq"
	"github.com/goptics/varmq"
)

varmq needs Go 1.24 or newer. Run go version to check.

The in-memory worker pool, queues and topics are all in this one package. Persistent and distributed queues also need a storage adapter, which is its own module: redisq for Redis or sqliteq for SQLite.

Next: the quick start.
