High‑performance Redis message queue for Go
simple to use, built for scale.

---

Other implementations: redis-smq (TypeScript)
Language‑agnostic concepts: redis-smq-docs – architecture, queues, exchanges, and more.

✨ Why RedisSMQ?

• Full‑featured – FIFO, LIFO, priority queues, pub/sub, exchanges, scheduling, consumer groups, rate limiting.
• Reliable – Acknowledgements, dead‑letter queues, retries, and message persistence.
• Cross‑language – Messages published from Go can be consumed by Node.js (and vice versa).
• Go‑native – Idiomatic API, context support, and clean concurrency.

📋 Requirements

• Go ≥ 1.25
• Redis ≥ 4

📦 Installation

go get github.com/weyoss/go-redis-smq

🚀 Quick Start

1. Initialize

package main

import (
    "context"
    "log"
    "github.com/weyoss/go-redis-smq"
)

func main() {
    ctx := context.Background()
    if err := redissmq.Init(ctx, redissmq.Config{Addr: "127.0.0.1:6379"}); err != nil {
        log.Fatal(err)
    }
    defer redissmq.Shutdown()
}

2. Create a Queue

import (
    "github.com/weyoss/go-redis-smq/pkg/queue"
    "github.com/weyoss/go-redis-smq/pkg/queue/q"
)

params := q.MustQueueParams("orders")
if err := queue.Create(ctx, params, q.TypeFIFO, q.DeliveryPointToPoint); err != nil {
    log.Fatal(err)
}

3. Produce a Message

import (
    "github.com/weyoss/go-redis-smq/pkg/message/msg"
)

producer := redissmq.NewProducer()
producer.Run(ctx)
defer producer.Shutdown(ctx)

m := msg.New().SetBody([]byte("Hello World")).SetQueue(params)
ids, err := producer.Produce(ctx, m)
if err != nil {
    log.Fatal(err)
}
fmt.Printf("Produced: %v\n", ids)

4. Consume Messages

consumer := redissmq.NewConsumer()
consumer.Consume(params, func(ctx context.Context, m *msg.Transferable) error {
    fmt.Printf("Received: %v\n", string(m.Body))
    return nil // acknowledge
})
if err := consumer.Run(ctx); err != nil {
    log.Fatal(err)
}
defer consumer.Shutdown()

📚 API Overview

The Go library provides idiomatic, context‑aware APIs for:

• System – Init, Shutdown
• Queues – Create, Pause, Resume, Stop, SetRateLimit, BrowseMessages, ListAll
• Messages – Get, Delete, Requeue
• Producers – Run, Produce (direct or via exchanges)
• Consumers – Consume, ConsumeWithGroup, Run, Shutdown
• Exchanges – Direct, Topic, Fanout with bindings
• Namespaces – List, Delete, ListQueues, ListExchanges
• Configuration – Runtime config management

See the full Go documentation for details.

🔗 Interoperability

Because the Go and TypeScript implementations share the same protocol, you can:

• Produce in Go, consume in Node.js (and vice versa).
• Manage queues and exchanges from either language.
• Use the same Redis instance for both stacks.

The REST API and Web UI (from the TypeScript repo) work seamlessly with Go‑created queues.

🛠️ Administration & Monitoring

The RedisSMQ REST API and Web UI (from the TypeScript implementation) are fully compatible with queues created by this Go client.

🧩 Compatibility

Always match your library version with the correct language‑agnostic specification.
Check the version compatibility matrix before upgrading.
