The WordPress
job queue and workflow engine

Fast background jobs and durable multi-step workflows that survive PHP timeouts, crashes, and retries. Workers skip the WordPress boot for maximum throughput.

composer require queuety/queuety

Fast Execution

Workers skip the WordPress boot, connecting to MySQL directly via PDO. ~5ms overhead per batch.

Durable Workflows

Multi-step processes with persistent state that survive PHP timeouts, crashes, and retries.

Priority Queues

Four priority levels via type-safe enums. Higher priority jobs are always processed first.

Rate Limiting

Per-handler execution limits with sliding window. Workers skip rate-limited handlers automatically.

Recurring Jobs

Interval and cron-based scheduling. Built-in cron parser with no external dependencies.

Parallel Steps

Run workflow steps concurrently and wait for all to complete before advancing.

Metrics & Logging

Permanent database log with throughput, latency percentiles, and error rates per handler.

PHP 8.2+

Enums, readonly classes, match expressions, constructor promotion, and PHP attributes.
