+# Asynq [![Build Status](https://travis-ci.com/hibiken/asynq.svg?token=paqzfpSkF4p23s5Ux39b&branch=master)](https://travis-ci.com/hibiken/asynq)
+
+Asynq is a simple asynchronous task queue library in Go.
+
+## Requirements
+
+- Redis: 2.6+
+- Go: 1.12+
+
+## Installation
+
+```
+go get -u github.com/hibiken/asynq
+```
+
+## Getting Started
+
+1. Import `asynq` in your file.
+
+```go
+import "github.com/hibiken/asynq"
+```
+
+2. Create a `Client` instance to create tasks.
+
+```go
+func main() {
+    client := asynq.NewClient(&asynq.RedisOpt{
+        Addr: "localhost:6379",
+    })
+
+    t1 := &asynq.Task{
+        Type: "send_welcome_email",
+        Payload: map[string]interface{
+          "recipient_id": 1234,
+        },
+    }
+
+    t2 := &asynq.Task{
+        Type: "send_reminder_email",
+        Payload: map[string]interface{
+          "recipient_id": 1234,
+        },
+    }
+
+    // send welcome email now.
+    client.Process(t1, time.Now())
+
+    // send reminder email 24 hours later.
+    client.Process(t2, time.Now().Add(24 * time.Hour))
+}
+```
+
+3. Create a `Background` instance to process tasks.
+
+```go
+func main() {
+    bg := asynq.NewBackground(10, &asynq.RedisOpt{
+        Addr: "localhost:6379",
+    })
+
+    bg.Run(handler)
+}
+
+func handler(t *Task) error {
+    switch t.Type {
+        case "send_welcome_email":
+            rid, ok := t.Payload["recipient_id"]
+            if !ok {
+                return fmt.Errorf("recipient_id not found in payload")
+            }
+            fmt.Printf("Send Welcome Email to %d\n", rid.(int))
+
+        // ... handle other task types.
+
+        default:
+            return fmt.Errorf("unexpected task type: %s", t.Type)
+    }
+    return nil
+}
+```
