+Asynq is a Go library for queueing tasks and processing them in the background with workers. It is backed by Redis and it is designed to have a low barrier to entry. It should be integrated in your web stack easily.
+
+Highlevel overview of how Asynq works:
+
+- Client puts task on a queue
+- Server pulls task off queues and starts a worker goroutine for each task
+- Workers process tasks concurrently
+
+Task queues are used as a mechanism to distribute work across multiple machines.  
+A system can consist of multiple worker servers and brokers, giving way to high availability and horizontal scaling.
