@jrallison you've done an amazing job with this project. We rely on it a lot for our infrastructure and it works amazingly. We do around 20,000 jobs per minute on very commodity hardware which is so cool.

Looking at this project it seems a bit stale, the most recent merged PR's and commits are from 2016. Would you be willing to add some collaborators so we can kick some life into this project?

Hey @erkie,

Glad to hear your team is using go-workers! I welcome collaborators, if you have any ideas for where you'd like to see the project go, I'm all ears and happy to help!

We use this project extensively in production for many of our services as well. Any issues/improvements we find are pushed here. The staleness is mainly due to it being really stable for us, allowing us to focus on other things.

I see that customer.io seems to be using their own fork https://github.com/customerio/go-workers which is ahead of this repo, but doesn't have issues open.

Do you intend to continue maintaining this repo here? If yes, it might make sense to pick some of the additions of the customerio fork, e. g. Gomodules (#99).

If you don't maintain it, how about

• pointing to an alternative in the README
• archiving the repo

BTW, no bad feelings. I am not using this code (but looking for something like it). Glad you put it our here. Just trying to make it easier for the community to judge whether it's worth investing into this project.

We have since switched to https://github.com/digitalocean/go-workers2 which works great, but has some breaking changes.
