Key Features

Geis' primary goals are reliability, consistency and observability.

It is fundamentally different from other background job processing tools because it retains job data for historic metrics and inspection. You can leave your application running indefinitely without worrying about jobs being lost or orphaned due to crashes.

Advantages Over Other Tools

• Fewer Dependencies — If you are running a web app there is a very good chance that you're running on top of a [RDBMS][rdbms]. Running your job queue within PostgreSQL minimizes system dependencies and simplifies data backups.

• Transactional Control — Enqueue a job along with other database changes, ensuring that everything is committed or rolled back atomically.

• Database Backups — Jobs are stored inside of your primary database, which means they are backed up together with the data that they relate to.
