# BullMQ Redis-Based Message Queue and Job Processor for Node.js

BullMQ is the fastest, most reliable Redis-based distributed queue for Node.js, Python, Elixir, and PHP. It provides priority queues, rate limiting, delayed jobs, parent-child dependencies, repeatable jobs, and sandboxed workers for background processing at scale.

## Installation

- $ yarn add bullmq

Requirements and caveats from upstream:
- The fastest, most reliable, Redis-based distributed queue for Node. <br/>
- Do you need to work with BullMQ on platforms other than Node.js? If so, check out the [BullMQ Proxy](https://github.com/taskforcesh/bullmq-proxy)

Basic usage or getting-started notes:
