NAME

Minion::Backend::Redis - Redis backend for Minion job queue

SYNOPSIS

use Minion::Backend::Redis;
my $backend = Minion::Backend::Redis->new('redis://127.0.0.1:6379/5');

# Minion
use Minion;
my $minion = Minion->new(Redis => 'redis://127.0.0.1:6379');

# Mojolicious (via Mojolicious::Plugin::Minion)
$self->plugin(Minion => { Redis => 'redis://127.0.0.1:6379/2' });

# Mojolicious::Lite (via Mojolicious::Plugin::Minion)
plugin Minion => { Redis => 'redis://x:s3cret@127.0.0.1:6379' };

DESCRIPTION

Minion::Backend::Redis is a backend for Minion based on Mojo::Redis. Note that Redis Server version 2.8.0 or newer is required to use this backend.

CAUTION

This is a slightly hackish modification of the original code by Dan Book to use Mojo::Redis instead of Mojo::Redis2.

Due to the original code being written against an older Minion version, "history" is currently unimplemented.

You can run examples/minion_bench.pl to get some performance metrics.
