# Bokeh

Bokeh (pronounced boh-kay) is a simple, scalable and blazing-fast task queue built on [Node.js](http://nodejs.org) and [ZeroMQ](http://zeromq.org). It allows you to offload tasks from your main application process and distribute them among a pool of workers. Workers can be running on the same host as your application, or scaled out onto multiple machines for greater processing power.
