EZRA is a persistent task queue. Multiple services push tasks in, multiple workers pull them out and confirm when done. Each task stays visible and explicitly tracked until a worker marks it finished - no silent drops, no fire-and-forget. Backed by SQLite, powered by the Erlang/OTP runtime. Workers connect with any Redis client (Redis itself is not needed) in any language - no new SDK required.

This project is maintained by a single author and pull requests are not accepted. Issues for bugs or questions are welcome.
