I'm always surprised that when I see people talk about queues I never see anyone mention beanstalkd. I've been using it for basically everything for 10 years and it's solid as a rock, incredibly simple and requires basically no maintenance. It Just Works™

I've used beanstalkd for personal projects previously with a similar experience to you.

For one such project, the message 'priority' feature was a life saver and a feature that is not super common in competing solutions.
