How to Use Flume in your Elixir Application
Oban, backed by PostgreSQL or SQLite, also provides a queue-based job processing system. Exq, on the other hand, is backed by Redis. It provides features similar to Flume, but without built-in rate limiting and batch processing capabilities.

Complete, Production-Ready Phoenix Reference Applications
Enter Oban, which leverages Postgres' notify/listen functionality to provide a durable queue. Oban is solid and doesn't require Redis, which is cool. I end up using this in most projects I work on. If you absolutely need the speed of Redis, Exq is a pretty good option.

sidekiq-dry
Job processing libraries compatible with Sidekiq, for example exq, won't deserialise your Dry::Struct arguments. This is most likely an acceptable tradeoff.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing flume and exq you can also consider the following projects:
oban - 💎 Robust job processing in Elixir, backed by modern PostgreSQL and SQLite3
broadway - Concurrent and multi-stage data ingestion and data processing with Elixir
verk - A job processing system that just verks! 🧛
kaffe - An opinionated Elixir wrapper around brod, the Erlang Kafka client, that supports encrypted connections to Heroku Kafka out of the box.
dbus - A dumb message bus for sharing data between microservices in a relatively decoupled mechanism
toniq
amqp - Idiomatic Elixir client for RabbitMQ
honeydew - Job Queue for Elixir. Clustered or Local. Straight BEAM. Optional Ecto. 💪🍈
