There's beanstalkd, it has a few Python libraries and it works out of the box with ActiveJob via Backburner.

SQL Maxis: Why We Ditched RabbitMQ and Replaced It with a Postgres Queue
Not when a queue is involved. IME trying to replicate something like beanstalkd (https://beanstalkd.github.io/) in postgres is asking for trouble for anything but trivial workloads.
If you're measuring throughput in jobs/s, use a real work queue.

PHP parallel processing idea
Then there are queue libraries like beanstalkd, RabbitMQ or built-in features like queues from Laravel. These will probably get you quicker to your goal then trying the process managing route.

Write Your Own Task Queue
The only task queue I loved was beanstalkd -- it's beautifully written and highly performant. Starting it takes seconds and it's been running for a decade:

What are some popular background job processing frameworks in the Rust ecosystem?
It's not rust (it's C), but beanstalkd is a pretty incredible work queue that processes millions of jobs a day (10K+/s at peak) for my company. I know there are a few rust drivers available.

Interesting. What are you thoughts on NSQ?
Was looking at it earlier today, but haven't ever tried it out.

Any thoughts on using Redis to extend Go's channels across application / machine boundaries?
(G)NATS can do millions of messages per second and is the right tool for the job (either that or NSQ). Redis isn't even the fastest Redis protocol implementation, KeyDB significantly outperforms it.

Bit.ly's NSQ is also an excellent message queue option.

Infinite loop pattern to poll for a queue in a REST server app
Queue consumers are interesting because there are many solutions for them, from using Redis and persisting the data in a data store - but for fast and scalable the approach I would take is something like SQS (as I advocate AWS even free tier) or NSQ for managing your own distributed producers and consumers.

What are some alternatives?
When comparing BeanstalkD and nsq you can also consider the following projects:
RabbitMQ - Open source RabbitMQ: core server and tier 1 (built-in) plugins
NATS - Golang client for NATS, the cloud native messaging system.
Apache Kafka - Mirror of Apache Kafka
NATS - High-Performance server for NATS.io, the cloud and edge native messaging system.
Gearman
celery - Distributed Task Queue (development branch)
ZeroMQ - ZeroMQ core engine in C++, implements ZMTP/3.1
Redis - Redis is an in-memory database that persists on disk. The data model is key-value, but many different kind of values are supported: Strings, Lists, Sets, Sorted Sets, Hashes, Streams, HyperLogLogs, Bitmaps.
