taskq VS kafka-go

Hi, I'm starting a new project that involves distributing task on different (and possibly distributed) workers in Golang. So I'm looking for the best task queue library to use; for now the ones I like are the following (in no particular order): - asynq - machinery - taskq

+ taskq

I had a look at: 1. machinery - https://github.com/RichardKnop/machinery 2. go-celery - https://github.com/gocelery/gocelery 3. asynq - https://github.com/hibiken/asynq 3. taskq - https://github.com/vmihailenco/taskq

Oh my god, I have to deal with a similar system at work and I wish we hadn't tried to handroll this. If its possible you should look into something off-the-shelf. Could Celery work for 1000*10000 tasks? But if you must do it yourself, https://github.com/vmihailenco/taskq looks good

I was looking at https://github.com/vmihailenco/taskq to use potentially to manage tasks being picked up by a set of workers. Since we already have a Kakfa expertise I was looking to potentially use that instead.

There are two main libraries that people use to write clients Confluent Kafka and segment io kafka

Unlike the standard scripts, and many binary clients, it's a native, statically-compiled, binary. It uses segmentio/go-kafka internally, which means CGO can be disabled during compilation.

Scaling up our producers/consumers proved to be more cost-effective than adding more CPU/brokers to the Kafka cluster. To accomplish this, we used the segmentio/kafka-go client library which provides an excellent abstraction for interacting with the cluster and will handle data compression completely transparently.

I want to announce the first release of a kafkagosaur, a new Kafka client. It's built using WebAssembly and binds to the kafka-go library. The first release includes functionality to read and write Kafka messages and SASL support.

Use the Segment Kafka library, not Sarama, it’s much easier to use https://github.com/segmentio/kafka-go

Segment learned quite some time ago that librdkafka-go has problems like these (and doesn’t support Contexts either), so they wrote a pure Go replacement instead. https://github.com/segmentio/kafka-go
